When seven archaeologists find an ancient Inca temple, they become victims of an ancient curse. Back in Europe, one by one they fall into a deep sleep and only once a day, all at the same time, they wake up for a few minutes and experience hallucinations where the sinister living mummy of Rascar Capac appears.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the first Tintin feature film produced outside Belgium's Belvision studio, with a French-Spanish-Belgian co-production that explains the slightly unhinged multinational energy.
The film compresses Hergé's two-volume 'Prisoners of the Sun' arc into 78 minutes, sacrificing nuanced Inca characterization for hallucinogenic set pieces that feel like someone described Peru thirdhand.
