The Gravity
Description
Something is a little off in a housing project in the Parisian suburbs. Up in the sky, the planets are clicking into alignment, while on earth, the forces of gravity make taking steps feel like wading through molasses. No one knows what it means, least of all Daniel and his brother, Joshua. They’re just trying to get by, resorting to selling drugs to make ends meet. Daniel dreams of leaving the projects once and for all, but his careful plans go awry as both life and celestial positions fracture. A new gang of teenage dealers are intent on making changes and imposing their will on the neighborhood by any means necessary. Grounded by the deep relationship depicted between the brothers and capped off with an explosive finale, director Cédric Ido’s second feature is a bold entry in the sci-fi genre.
Cédric Ido is a French-Burkinabe actor, writer, and director who made his feature debut with Chateau (2017). He has also directed movies for television, series TV, and short films. His short Twaaga (2013) won the Best Short Film prize at the African Movie Academy Awards.
