A kid on a bike on a country road. It's Lionel, the Legrands' adopted son. Later the same teenager, helmet and yellow leather jacket on a motorcycle, a gift from his mother Colette. In the meantime, there will have been handball matches, the installation of windmills, visits to the construction site with the German engineer, Colette's madness, the gossip of the workers at the factory, the ardor of the young Lucie. And for all of them, leaning against this lavender countryside as far as the eye can see, the search for an elsewhere that is either appropriate or inaccessible.

In EVOLUTION, acclaimed filmmaking team Kornél Mundruczó and Kata Wéber (PIECES OF A WOMAN) return with a powerful drama tracing three generations of a family, from a surreal memory of World War II to modern day Berlin, unable to process their past in a society still coping with the wounds of its history. Like the water that connects the episodes in this triptych, memory and identity are fluid, and how we relate to it can drown or buoy. The pain and stigma that trickles from Eva, to Lena and then Jonas is inexpressible, yet rendered with striking imagery by Mundruczó and a wrenchingly poignant yet acerbically ironic and personal script by Weber. While generational traumas find new expression in the present, the family in EVOLUTION looks towards a more hopeful future
