Bastille Day 2026 Film Screening: Un Monde Merveilleux (Robot T-0)

As part of the Bastille Day celebrations in Ireland, the French Embassy in association with Irish cultural partners, presents a special French Film Programme from 1st to 19th July 2026 in Dublin, Cork, Dún Laoghaire, and online.

Dublin City Council Libraries are delighted to participate in this initiative by the French Embassy, celebrating French culture and marking the close friendship between Ireland and France.

On Saturday 11 July, join us in Ballymun Library for a screening of Un Monde Merveilleux (Robot T-0).

In the near future, robots are in every household, at the service of humans, replacing them in their daily chores. 40 years old Max, unemployed, and her daughter Paula struggle to earn their living by selling stolen robots on the black market. Unfortunately, their latest ‘acquisition’, T-0, is too old to be recycled at their usual fence... A godsend for Paula, aged 10, who dreams of owning her own robot!

Her mother, yet vehemently opposed to machines, agrees to keep him until another buyer can be found... When Paula’s custody is taken away from her after yet another scheme goes wrong, Max has no choice but to rely on T-0, who is ready to do anything to help.
