On War (De La Guerre)
On War (De La Guerre)
After a freak accident, Bert (Mathieu Amalric), gets locked in a coffin overnight – scaring him profoundly and moving him to change his life.
He decides to stop focusing on work and seek pleasure. When he encounters a strange man, Charles (Guillaume Depardieu), offering him the ultimate pleasure in a placed called The Kingdom.
Bert decides, what the hell…m and goes with him. Instead of pleasure, he finds himself in the middle of a war between the sexes led by sexy and strict Uma (Asia Argento), chased by a young woman, Maria (Lea Seydoux) befriended by the mesmerizing Rachel (Elina Lowensohn), and that’s when it gets weird. Find out who wins, who loses and whether Bert can ever return to “normal”.
