The acclaimed French genre-blender makes its VOD/DVD debut next Tuesday, December 19 from Dark Star Pictures.
TROPIC, which has played festivals including Fantastic Fest and Sitges, was directed by Edouard Salier and scripted by Salier with Mauricio Carrasco, and stars Pablo Cobo, Louis Peres, Marta Nieto, Marvin Dubart, Alane Delhaye and Victor Robert. The synopsis: “Lázaro [Cobo] and Tristán [Peres], 19-year-old twin brothers and best friends, are training together for the Astronaut Academy entrance tests. One day, Tristán is contaminated with some mysterious residue which makes him monstrous physically and weakened mentally. This disaster forces Lázaro to let go of how he remembers his brother and learn to love him as he is now, in a world where there is no room for monsters.”
