LOGLINE
This is the extraordinary adventure of two boys, Marc and Tom, who find themselves confronted by their deepest emotions. A shooting star lands so close to them that is nearly knocks them out. This “ZAKIS” has mystical powers. As soon as they touch it, Marc is transformed from a shy introvert to a Casanova. He is plunged into a world of drunken sensuality. For his part, Tom develops instantaneous inferiority complex. Marc gets himself into a fight, which loses him the stone. Tom’s emotions become more outrageous. The boys soon realize that the Zakis is somehow affecting Tom by all the emotions of the holder. The adventure really begins as our heroes attempt to recover it, but two Aliens are also after the Zakis, and the stone keeps changing hands. The Zakis passes from hand to hand, leading to all kinds to trouble. Their stern and cheerless teacher now sees a party everywhere. Patrick, a timid silent boy, can now communicate with animals and becomes a very vocal activist. Alex, a punk, conducts scientific experiments on the stone, which don’t bode well for Tom. The outcome is uncertain, but the boys know that the ultimate fate of the world rest in the hands.
