Description
Fantasy, comedy and horror: it may not be the first genres you would put together, but they come together wonderfully in this work by French director, writer and lead actress Noémi Merlant. In this blend of genres, three women eagerly meddle in the lives of their neighbors from their sunny balcony. All fun and games, until they find themselves in a very strange situation with their male neighbor. It remains to be seen how and if they will get out of this situation.
During this screening, the CHDR will track the heart rates of some audience members in order to investigate what actually happens to your heart rate when a film scares you, for example, or when a film makes you laugh a lot. The CHDR will use wrist watches for this experiment, which will be distributed before the screening. The results of this experiment will be processed anonymously.
The Centre for Human Drug Research is a foundation from Leiden. They test the effects of a range of medicines on healthy volunteers as well as patients. The money earned from this will be invested in the CHDR’s own research, the training of new investigators, and educating people about the importance of drug research.
