Storyline

In the mid 1990's, 20 French urban dancers join together for a three-day rehearsal in a closed-down boarding school located at the heart of a forest to share one last dance. They then make one last party around a large sangria bowl. Quickly, the atmosphere becomes charged and a strange madness will seize them the whole night. If it seems obvious to them that they have been drugged, they neither know by who nor why. And it's soon impossible for them to resist to their neuroses and psychoses, numbed by the hypnotic and the increasing electric rhythm of the music. While some feel in paradise, most of them plunge into hell. Written by Anonymous Two

Goofs

While the movie is supposed to be set in 1996, which is confirmed by the clothes, the music and the lack of smartphones, the French spoken in the film is very much 2010s, with many anglicisms or other recent verbal tics heard throughout the movie. See more »

The most fantastic sensory overload you could watch
23 September 2018 | by thevenom-78014 – See all my reviews

A movie filled with an extreme vision of what being on drugs is like and what can happen when a group of people dont trust eachother and how they all deal with being high. Gaspar Noes best film for sure. If you like movies that give you a feeling of being uncomfortable and also intrigued this movie is perfect for you.
