King of Hearts

  • Log in or register to post comments

In the midst of World War I, a group of prisoners finds themselves trapped in a psychiatric sanatorium located in a small French village. Life in the asylum, a place that seems to have been abandoned by God, serves as the backdrop for a series of absurd and comedic events when a young soldier, after a failed mission, accidentally ends up in this refuge for the insane. Not fully understanding the situation, the new tenant becomes the unexpected king of the place, where the "crazy" are nothing more than souls overwhelmed by the circumstances of the outside world.

As wartime tensions escalate and chaos takes hold of the environment, the protagonist delves into a surreal world where logic becomes a luxury. The asylum’s residents, each with their own charming madness, join him on a journey of self-discovery and liberation. Together, they challenge social conventions and create a realm where true sanity is redefined.

Meanwhile, contact with the outside world persists, with a war looming on the horizon. The young soldier, along with his new friends, struggles to find meaning in an era marked by confusion and pain. With a bold visual style and subversive humor, the film offers a reflection on madness in times of war, celebrating insanity as an act of resistance against an irrational world. It’s a story full of color, madness, and, above all, humanity.
