Interstate

Franck is a contract killer who mercilessly eliminates adversaries for a mafia clan in the Belgian Ardennes. But then his conscience suddenly gets the better of him and he spares his next target. He will bitterly regret this, because not only his employer shows no mercy and is now hot on the heels of the "traitor". A stranger also turns his knowledge of the case into a loaded weapon against Franck. Who is the creepy guy he meets on the highway and then again and again? Could this be a mere coincidence?

Congolese director Jean-Luc Herbulot has already shown what he's capable of with his wild mercenary hybrid SALOUM at the 2021 Fantasy Filmfest. INTERSTATE is another entertaining mix of genres - with a deep nod to THE PATENT. The plot is full of clever twists and turns and not only leads the main character headlong into madness.

English Version

After presenting SALOUM in 2021 at the Fantasy Filmfest Congolese director Jean-Luc Herbulot comes back with INTERSTATE. The plot turns around Franck, a contract killer, who will bitterly regret his newly found mercy for one of his victims. INTERSTATE is another entertaining mix of genres - and a tribute to THE GODFATHER. The plot is full of clever twists and turns and has the potential to drive us all crazy.
