Written by Nicole Garcia and her usual partner in crime Jacques Fieschi (a five-time César nominee in his field who triumphed in 2022 for his adaptation of Lost Illusions), the screenplay centres on Alice who starts working as a waitress in a small cafeteria next to an auto repair garage following her release from prison, and who befriends a young man named Milo who works in the garage…
Milo is being produced by Alain Attal for Les Productions du Trésor in co-production with France 3 Cinéma and StudioCanal (who will also oversee distribution in France and international sales). The shoot will run until 4 December.
For the record, Trésor Films are also overseeing Jeanne Herry’s Garance in production (read our article) and Marion Le Corroller’s co-production Species which is currently in post-production (article).
