About Damocles
Hélène and Paul, early 30s and long-term singles, have been living in a two-person flat for years. Currently, graphic designer Paul wants to escape the digital constraints of his time and has acquired an age-old phone on which only "real" friends can reach him. One evening Paul gets from a friend at a party, his future predicted: Soon he will meet the love of his life, but also commit a murder. A short time later, when he meets the stunning Camille and falls in love with her, he begins to doubt with all luck. Could the prophecy really be true?
Directed by Manuel Schapira, Damocles leans on a strong ensemble — Manu Payet, Laëtitia Spigarelli, Alma Jodorowsky — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2016.
