About Meanwhile on Earth
Meanwhile on Earth is a sci-fi film from Jérémy Clapin, who gained prominence with his animated film I Lost My Body. It is produced by the prolific animation producer and the founder and president of Xilam Animation, Marc du Pontavice.
The film is produced by One World Films. Here's how the platform describes its plot:
"Elsa, 23, has always been very close to her older brother Franck, an astronaut who mysteriously disappeared 3 years earlier during a space mission. One day, she is contacted from space by an unknown life form that claims to be able to bring her brother back to Earth. But there is a price to pay…"
Talking about the idea of the film, Clapin told Variety,
"When you look to the past or future, you’re fascinated because you can’t go there. So I wanted to build a story that takes place between our world and space, where everything mixes together and there is a character inside this blurred area between the two."
