5 Continents

Laure is a 40-year-old psychologist who doesn't know her son, Jean. But the latter comes back to Paris and finds a brand new woman when he sees his mother.

After the death of Franco, the nostalgic fascist regime attempts to preserve the 1936's order.

The story is based around "spermulites", the alien inhabitants of a dying planet. The only way they can save their planet is by sucking the men of planet earth dry of sperm, kind of like horny vampires.

In this avant-garde exercise in self-reflection, director Joseph Morder reminisces about his youth in Guayaquil, Ecuador, where his Jewish parents settled after they left Poland. The heat of August in Paris brings forth memories and at the same time the adult Morder is involved in a love affair. There are no scenes from Ecuador here, and none of the images in the film are used to carry the narration; instead they vaguely illustrate what Morder happens to be saying at the moment.

The veneer of the story is a tale of chance love: two French expatriates strike up a chance romance when they meet on a ship headed back to South America.

Guillaume, thirty years old, a man of images who never goes out without a filming device, decides one morning to take a voyage to Rouen empty-handed.
