Synopsis
Meanwhile on Earth (Pendant ce temps sur Terre, 2024) is a French sci-fi drama you can watch online on iFILM. It's the first live-action feature from Jérémy Clapin, the director behind the Oscar-nominated animation I Lost My Body.
Elsa is twenty-three and stuck. Three years ago her older brother Franck, an astronaut, vanished on a mission, and her life has been frozen ever since. Then something out in space starts speaking to her. The voice promises to bring Franck home for a price that gets darker the longer she listens, and she has to decide how far she'll go for family.
Clapin keeps the scale small: no spectacle, just Megan Northam's face and a slow tightening of dread. This leans closer to horror than space opera. A good pick for anyone who likes quiet genre drama — an Arrival shrunk down to one apartment and one grieving sister. Stream Meanwhile on Earth online on iFILM.
