The suicide of the French teacher and the weird behaviour in the class of the most talented pupils is only the beginning of this mysterious horror film. Six nihilistic pupils who seem ordinary teenagers only at first sight are actually preparing for a catastrophe. At first, their behaviour arouses interest and worry in the substitute French teacher, but this soon develops into a real obsession. What are they planning and why? A film about anxiety, fears and hopes of the young generation.

From the Iranian-American director Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone), this is a story of an outsider in search of her place under the (full) moon amidst the chaos of the modern world. Imbued with neon and B-movie aesthetics, Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon is tall tale for adults meets sweet sci-fi comedy meets a bizarre fantasy thriller.
