Summary
- Film interweaves a country girl's journey with her descendants' discoveries.
- Descendants unite to save an ancestral cottage from demolition.
- An Ayahuasca trip leads present-day claimants to historical icons.
Cédric Klapisch's film, "The Arrival of the Future," creatively links a young woman's quest in the belle époque with her modern-day descendants. The narrative follows Adèle as she journeys to Paris to find her mother, Odette, while in the present, her scattered descendants are informed about Adèle's cottage, slated for demolition.
This group of diverse descendants must agree to the construction of a new shopping mall that would raze the historic cottage. While investigating their inheritance, they discover a trove of historical artifacts.
Their detective work parallels Adèle's discoveries about her mother's life and financial dealings in Paris. The story culminates in a surreal Ayahuasca experience for the descendants, transporting them to an exhibition where they encounter historical figures like Victor Hugo.
