After Blue (Dirty Paradise)

In a far-off future, on a wild planet, Roxy, a lonely teenager, rescues a criminal buried in the sand. As soon as she is freed, she leaves a trail of death behind her. Roxy and her mother Zora are held responsible, driven out of their community and condemned to tracking down the murderer. They then roam through the supernatural lands of their “dirty paradise”.

With After Blue, the director of The Wild Boys treats us to a post-apocalyptic fable at the crossroads of science fiction, heroic fantasy and the cosmic western, which, through a visual and sensual feast, provides a vision of a feminine future.
