Description
Cast: Anne-Laure Sellier
In the 1960s, an Italian Benedictine monk claimed to have invented a machine that allowed users to see into the past, as though on a TV set. While doing research, present-day academic Béatrice becomes fascinated by this “Chronovisor,” and plunges headlong into uncovering the truth about this mysterious device. This unusual and beguiling indie perfectly captures the sensation of going down a rabbit hole of dubious arcana.
