Can friends really rescue each other? That’s the key question looming over Hubert Charuel’s low-key, affecting Meteors. Can an individual restore, salvage a loved one skidding deep into alcoholic ruin? Perhaps to save someone, you really need to step back for a while, let them see how deep they can crash if they don’t wake up. When the film opens, both Mika (Paul Kircher) and Daniel (Idir Azougli) are drifters, jiving through life. Mika works at a burger joint, Dan is jobless. The two share a dream of moving to an island and doing kennel work. How can they afford it? One way is to find a long-missing carp and get hold of prize money. Dan even believes he knows where to look. However plans run aground when the two get embroiled in an accident, an absurd legal trial over kidnapping a cat.
