Taking the form of outrageous hijinks and a first-person experience of a bad trip, Californium pays homage to sci-fi legend Philip K. Dick (Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall, The Man in the High Castle, etc.) by transporting you into the life of a writer searching for his own identity. Will you find what’s behind the drills? Berkeley, 1967. Experience the dangers of going off acid, a bout of post-breakup depression, and the heartbreak of a dying career: Welcome to the life of Elvin Green, a science fiction writer in deep distress. Prepare for a sensory journey that will derail your sense of reality and replace it with powerful hallucinations. You waste your time and money on drugs and cheap alcohol, are plagued by insomnia, and struggle with blank page syndrome. The vague memories of his wife Thea and his editor Don blur into each other. Everything you thought was real starts to fall apart. It would be so easy to give in to the promises of alternative realities, each one more attractive than the last… Will you let these ever-present voices take control of your mind? Californium immerses you in a psychedelic world, leaving you searching for glitches in the matrix. Darjeeling, Nova Production and ARTE France are proud to present this authentic love letter to the world from Philip K. Dick. Experience contradictory art direction by Olivier Bonhomme (Homo Machina), an exhilarating soundtrack by Xavier Thiry, and an incredible performance by actor Paul Bandey as the mysterious Theta.
