Set in 2010, Luminal is the story of a friendship between two young girls on the urban backdrop of Paris and London night excesses. It shows the inside view of a wild trip through their psyche, as they try to make some sense of their lives. French actor Denis Lavant (Beau travail, Les Amants du Pont Neuf, Unkle ‘Rabbit in the headlights' video) plays the schizophrenic mentor that controls the lives of two teenagers - Demon (Jemeela Mustchin) and Davi (Maria Papas) - who are lost and drifted towards a futuristic urban dystopia. The film is based on Isabella Santacroce's novel Luminal, a highly celebrated Italian novel. |
