Hawaii
Directed by Mélissa Drigeard
Produced by Marvelous Productions, France 2 Cinéma
A darkly comedic pressure-cooker about long-standing friendships tested by mortality and buried resentments, where a false nuclear alarm forces a reckoning.
Nine friends gather every year in their friend Thomas’ hotel in Hawaii. Following a nuclear attack alert, they believe that their last moments are upon them. Years of hidden truths, resentment and bitterness starts to resurface and their friendly annual meeting soon turns into an aggressive score-setting shouting match.
