and soon to be seen in Sunday Dads) and Maud Ameline. Produced by Julie Salvador for Christmas in July, the film will star the director (whose awards include the César for Best Short Film in 2007) and is expected to start shooting in autumn 2012. This is the film’s pitch: As Christmas approaches, Elise can’t make up her mind whether to love or leave Paul, but life will decide for her.
