Pathé
Acide, directed by Just Philippot, was initially made as a short film in 2019 and was broadcasted on Canal+. The director decided to adapt it into a feature film, with a change in the cast: Guillaume Canet, Laetitia Dosch, and Patience Munchenbach form the new trio of this fantastic drama that addresses the issue of climate change head-on. Produced in an eco-responsible approach dear to the director, the film was accompanied by Film Paris Region in its search for natural settings.
