The Plot

Baker Dill is a fishing boat captain living a quiet and sheltered life. He spends his days leading tours off a tranquil, tropical enclave called Plymouth Island and is obsessed with catching an evasive giant yellowfin tuna whom he calls “Justice”.

One day, Dill’s ex-wife Karen tracks him down and begs him to save her and their young son Patrick from her new, violent husband, Frank, offering Dill $10 million to drop him into the ocean for the sharks to eat. She tells Dill that Frank will be arriving later in the week and that they have booked Dill for a fishing trip, the perfect opportunity for Dill to kill Frank.

Torn between what is right and wrong, Dill is thrust back into a life he had tried to forget, as his world is plunged into a new reality that may not be all that it seems.

It soon becomes apparent that Dill is a character in a computer game Patrick created, based on his father, John Mason, a U.S. Marine Corps Captain who was killed in Iraq in 2006. Patrick had based the character on a memory of his father taking him fishing when he was three years old. When Karen, a widow, remarried, Patrick introduced his mother and abusive step-father as new characters in the game, and changed Dill’s task from catching tuna to murdering his step-father.

Dill soon begins to realize that he and the other inhabitants of Plymouth Island are merely artificial intelligence characters created by his son. Nevertheless, he decides to go along with the objective of killing Frank.

As Dill carries out the objective, Patrick summons up the courage to confront Frank in real life and stabs him in the chest with a knife that used to belong to his father. Frank dies and Patrick is charged with murder, but he is released into his mother’s custody while awaiting trial. He designs a new computer game in which he and his father are reunited.

Delete History (French: Effacer l’historique)

Identical Pictures is pleased to announce that the feature film Delete History (French: Effacer l’historique), partly filmed in Mauritius in August 2019, which it service produced, was awarded a special Silver Bear at this year’s Berlinale in late February 2020. It won a Special Jury Prize, and was well received by audiences and Jury alike.

Three social media victims declare war on the tech giants.

In a provincial suburb, three neighbours come to terms with the consequences of the new world of social media. Marie, who lives off her husband’s family allowance, is afraid of losing her son’s respect because of a sex tape. Bertrand can’t say no to advertising calls and is fighting to protect his daughter, who is being bullied online. Christine, after losing everything because of her addiction to TV series, wonders why her rating as an Uber driver is not taking off.

These three lone fighters are incapable of finding a solution to their problems on their own – until they join forces to declare war on the tech giants. Ostensibly a sitcom, Effacer l’historique captures our 21st century reality in a way few other films have: there is neither history nor are there stories, neither left-wing nor right. Instead of a physical boss who enforces our obedience, an invisible, data-spewing cloud controls us and devours our identities.

This third Berlinale film by Delépine and Kervern is an empathetic tribute to those who are “left behind”, who hold up a mirror to us all and our perceptions of reality.

Story of a tragic love

Florian Huber is researching a wreck off Mauritius that went down in history: the “Saint Géran”. The ship of the French East India Company shattered on August 17, 1744 off Mauritius on a reef and sank. The “Saint Géran” was immortalized in the novel “Paul et Virginie” by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre. It tells the story of a tragic love. However, the wreck has been forgotten. Florian Huber goes in search of traces – for the truth of the story and for the remains of the ship. First with an ultralight seaplane from the air and then with his crew from research divers.
