Ad Vitam
Synopsis
In a world where eternal youth is a dream come true, a centenarian cop investigates a wave of teenage suicides.
What would happen to our lives if death were no longer part of them? This question, at the heart of current thinking on transhumanism, is the stuff of science fiction. Ad vitam gives substance to this premise by imagining a free, happy... and terribly distressing world. Launched like a classic police investigation, the story becomes a breathless, dizzying journey towards understanding - and accepting - our mortal condition.
As in his first film, Thomas Cailley successfully blends genres (from anticipation to detective fiction, from teenage chronicle to thriller) to offer a reflection on the place our society accords to youth. An aesthetic success with melancholy overtones, supported by a fine cast of young French actors, led by the singularly intense Garance Marillier, opposite Yvan Attal, a moving cop bent under the weight of years, in search of a new lease on life.
