The Last Journey

Last Journey of Paul W.R. is a science fiction film directed by Romain Quirot, which premiered at the Angoulême Francophone Film Festival in September 2020 and opened at the Sitges Film Festival where it also celebrated its international premier. It is the feature-length sequel to Quirot's short film The Last Journey of the Enigmatic Paul W.R Plot In the near future, temperatures on Earth have reached new, unbearable levels. Most wildlife species have gone extinct and hundreds of millions of people have become climate refugees while the world's oil, coal and gas reserves are depleted. Some time ago a new planet had appeared in the sky. Mankind had gone to great lengths to get there and mine the mineral Lumina, which revolutionized science. The hyper-energetic element rendered all other sources of energy on earth obsolete. With the planet now on a collision course with Earth, only one man can save the world. His name is Paul W.R. However, the astronaut disappeared without a trace a few hours before the start of a planned rescue mission some time before. Since then, he has been relentlessly hunted by the desperate humans. An accident has left Paul able to read the minds of those around him, and he has his reasons for not wanting the planet to be destroyed even though ecological catastrophe is imminent. He crosses Elma's path, and together Paul and the teenager make their way through the desert that France has become. Production
