The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll. And Mr. Hyde gets an eccentric French update in this amusing tale of a woman who develops a dangerous nocturnal alter-ego, starring Golden Globe winner Isabelle Huppert.
In a school in a working class suburb of Paris, Madame Gequil teaches an unruly group of teenagers physics – or tries to. Her meek and mild personality leaves her with little control of the classroom or life beyond – until she gets struck by lightening whilst working on an experiment in her lab. The bizarre accident awakens a wholly different woman within her; one that sparks control and power in more ways that one. For better or for worse, Madame Gequil’s life - and everyone it touches - is about to change drastically...
A strikingly original hybrid of science fiction, horror, and comedy, this peculiar and riotous story will leave you truly electrified.
