About Twinkl
Martinique Island, 1974. Inspired by the writings of the Martiniquais poet and politician Aimé Césaire (1913-2008), the dreamer Robert Saint-Rose, known as Zétwall (Star in Creole), aspires to be the first Frenchman to step on the lunar surface.
Directed by Gilles Elie-Dit-Cosaque, Twinkl leans on a strong ensemble — Hugues Saint-Rose, Marcel Celat, J. C. William — 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 documentary titles of 2008.
