What happens

The Laplace's Demon (Italian: Il demone di Laplace) is a 2017 Italian horror science fiction film directed by Giordano Giulivi. It premiered at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal in 2017. The film is inspired by the causal determinism concept of the same name as formulated by Pierre-Simon Laplace and free will plays a central role in the plot. The Laplace's Demon relies heavily on rear-projection (rather than the today more common chroma key/green screen) to insert the actors into the environments. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
