MEANWHILE ON EARTH Trailer: Extraterrestrial Contact Is Made in Jérémy Clapin’s Live-Action Debut

After making one of the most innovative animated films with the Oscar-nominated I Lost My Body, Jérémy Clapin returns with his live-action debut that is just as imaginative, but with more chills. Meanwhile On Earth stars newcomer Megan Northam as a young woman whose long-lost astronaut brother makes contact with her from the cosmos, putting her on a path to do whatever it takes to see her sibling again. It had its world premiere at Berlinale and will soon screen at the Fantasia Film Festival. Ahead of its September 13 theatrical release, Metrograph Pictures has just released the official trailer.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Elsa (Megan Northam, in her debut feature starring role), along with her family, is struggling following the disappearance of her brother Franck, an astronaut who vanished during his first mission. While stargazing one night, Elsa is shocked to receive contact from Franck, but her joy is short-lived when she learns of the dark and troubling forces behind Franck’s reappearance, forcing her to confront the lengths she will go for the brother she once feared was gone forever.
