Screening of the film “The Plague” at L’Atalante

Get ready for a screening that won’t leave you untouched: “The Plague” by Charlie Polinger hits L’Atalante on June 3, 2026. Mixing coming-of-age unease, body horror and water polo, the story unfolds in a summer camp where rumors of a plague spread… and paranoia turns innocent games into something far more vicious.

When Ben refuses to believe it, the line between reality and delusion starts to blur, triggering a ruthless power game among the boys. Featuring Joel Edgerton as “Daddy Wags,” the coach and only adult in this adolescent wilderness, the film promises mounting tension, eerie thrills and a gripping descent into chaos.

Already acclaimed on the festival circuit (Cannes / Deauville), it’s the perfect chance to experience it on the big screen.
