Shot in the summer of 2021 in the Landes, the film “En plein feu” resonates particularly today following a devastating summer of 2022 for the Landes forest. Quentin Raynaud directs André Dussollier and Alex Lutz there, whom he had already staged in his first two films, “5e set” and “Paris-Willouby”.
The story: A giant fire ravages the Landes forest. Following an evacuation alert, Simon and his father Joseph leave their home, but quickly find themselves trapped in their vehicle in the middle of this climatic nightmare. The blaze is getting closer. What to do ? Waiting for help…? Or will they not find a way out of this by going even deeper into the terrifying immensity of the burning forest?
