Written by the director in collaboration with Michel Spinosa and Gilles Taurand, the story begins one November morning in 1975. A young woman called Ana (Isabelle Carré) returns home, her cheeks ablaze after dancing all night. Bizarrely, her husband Yves (François Damiens), who’d waited up for her, worried, asks her forgiveness and leaves their home. A little girl watches their separation from the darkness of the hallway… In the spring of 1991, Cécile (Claire Duburcq), the little girl in the hallway, is 25 years old. She’s a student at a film school and is tasked with an assignment: “Film Your Parents”. Cécile films them separately and asks them about a subject which is legendary for her: how they met. Ana and Yves’ memories are different yet identical, and reliving those moments in their lives reminds them of the strength of their feelings…

La Fille d’un Grand Amour is produced by Philippe Godeau on behalf of Pan Cinéma, in co-production with France 2 Cinéma and Belgium’s Artemis Productions. Pre-purchased by Canal+, Ciné+ and France Télévisions, and enjoying further support from the Occitanie region, the feature film began shooting on 16 October and is set to wrap on 28 November, having travelled to Spain, the Eastern Pyrenees and Paris with Denis Lenoir heading up photography. Distribution in France falls to Pan Distribution.
