As we can see, the movie promises to have shocking scenes, with people being subjected to various experiments. According to the plot, everything revolves around the evolution of humanity. We will also see how a person has tubes inserted into his abdomen, among other things.

Other elements we see are a person who plugs in an aux cable on themselves and a strange, blue and green glowing lump. 

According to a synopsis provided by NEON,

As the human species adapts to a synthetic environment, the body undergoes new transformations and mutations. With his partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux), Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), celebrity performance artist, publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. Timlin (Kristen Stewart), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, obsessively tracks their movements, which is when a mysterious group is revealed… Their mission — to use Saul’s notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.

Crimes of the Future will Premiere at Cannes

Although the Crimes of the Future trailer announces the film’s release in theaters in June, it will premiere a little earlier at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year. This movie will premiere with other films listed as the best of the decade.

The Cannes festival will happen between May 17 and 28. It is still not very clear which day they will present Crimes of the Future. Cannes seems to be the ideal springboard to get feedback for the movie.
