film profile] and set to grace screens next year in Lucas Belvaux’s One Night), Luis Rego, Evelyne Buyle, Anne Conti, Brigitte Sy, Anémone, Italian actress Valeria Golino and Gustave Kervern.
Penned by the director and Sophie Fillières, the screenplay (which was read out at the latest Premiers Plans Festival in Angers) centres on 35-year-old François, (Elmosnino - pictured) who has been discharged from psychiatric hospital. After a breakdown, he is still fragile. So he goes back to hospital. Then when he gets out again, he has only one thing on his mind: winning back Anna (Quinton), the love of his life.
Produced by Tonie Marshall for Tabo Tabo Films, Ouf has received €175,000 in backing from the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region through the CRRAV. The 28-day shoot will take place in Lille and the surrounding area (Halluin, Marcq-en-Baroeul, Armentières and Villeneuve d'Ascq).
French distribution and international sales will be handled by MK2.
