The Islanders

'Belladone' places us in a near future. Gaëlle, a 30-year-old woman, lives on an island completely separated from the rest of the world. There, she takes care of a small group of elderly people. Suddenly, a sailboat arrives on the island and brings back joy, hustle, and life. However, Gaëlle does not trust the newcomers to the point that she begins to doubt their intentions. She has her reasons: after the arrival of the travelers, the elderly begin to die one by one. 

'The Islanders' is a French film, directed by Alanté Kavaité and set to premiere in France in March 2025.
