‘The Free Planet’ by Coline Serreau

By way of satire, a woman travels through time and walks through the city of Paris asking basic questions.  She is thought of as a person who has lost her mind by those who are “normal”.

She looks for the elements that are fulfilling the apocalyptic prophecy and that are valued (water, grass, etc.).

This is a simple film with an idealistic tone that compares the world of “should be” to the world of “it is”; the contradiction between the “unquestionable” modern reasoning that does not allow one to see the light of things.

This is a reflection on the dictatorship of money, pollution, consumerism, and leadership, which is narrated without fanfare using comedy and science fiction.
