Bruno Dumont’s French sci-fi 'The Empire' is set in a quiet fishing village on the Opal Coast in Northern France, and tells the story of a child who is so unique and peculiar it unleashes a secret war between extraterrestrial forces of good and evil.
The film has been selected in competition at the Berlin film festival, and stars Anamaria Vartolomei, Lyna Khoudri, Camille Cottin, Fabrice Luchini and Brandon Vlieghe.
