Cannes: 'The Carnival of Illusions' Promo One Sheet! http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/16340 Print This Page The other day it was announced that Talal Selhami will be getting behind the camera for The Carnival of Illusions, a new horror film co-scripted by Selhami and Cyril Rolland (The Pack). This evening Bloody-Disgusting with provided with a full synopsis and official Cannes promo art for the film that takes on shades of Juan Antonio Bayona's The Orphanage and turns on a teacher who takes his 11-year-old daughter Liz to a summer boarding school in a quiet Alsace village where she begins to hear what seems to be the voice of another student, who's lying in semi-coma. Meanwhile, her father investigates the death of the teacher he's replaced. "Liz, an eleven-year-old child deeply upset by her mother's death, tried to commit suicide. Persuaded that a change of circumstances will do the little girl a world of good, Paul, her teacher-father, agrees at short notice to stand in for a teacher in a summer boarding school located in Alsace, a few miles from the German border. However, once there, the place proves to be less friendly than hoped. Liz soon becomes the victim of nightmarish visions. Even more disturbing, she develops the ability to communicate with Thomas, a boarder who is in a semi-coma, whose voice reaches her through an old cocked hat that was in his stuff. As the friendship between Liz and her young friend becomes ever more symbiotic, her father starts inquiring on the bizarre death of the teacher he is replacing." Source:
