April and the Extraordinary World is an animated film directed by Franck Ekinci and Christian Desmares, released in 2015, with a visual universe designed and conceived by the comic book artist and writer Jacques Tardi.
Set in a steampunk-like universe (we are in the late 19th century), the film is an alternate history and dystopia where scientists disappear one after the other, leaving the world stuck in the age of coal and steel.
Starting with a request from Napoleon III to make his soldiers immortal, the story focuses on Gustave Franklin, a scientist trying to meet the Emperor's demand, then his son Prosper (known as Pops), his grandson Paul, and his great-granddaughter April. The Franklin family is aided by Darwin, an ageless talking cat (he absorbed the potion created by Gustave for the Emperor's soldiers), always offering good advice!!
In a Paris plagued by pollution where two Eiffel Towers coexist (Tardi indulges in the effects of smoke, shadowed Parisian rooftops, and post-Haussmannian monuments), we follow April as she tries to piece together the puzzle of her investigation to discover what happened to her family and finally succeed in developing the immortality serum.
