Written by the director together with Maya Haffar, the script centres on Jeanne, author and activist, as she leaves the stress of her urban life for a few days to visit her good friend Elisa, who has gone to live in the country. Although their opposite life choices put their complicity at risk, both find refuge in the same place: a local association, a place of welcome and care out of the ordinary. But it is coveted by Amaury, a businessman consumed by his desire for social success, who hopes to turn it into a luxury hotel...
Produced by Patrick Sobelman for Agat Films and Marine Arrighi for Apsara Films (a pair already behind the director’s debut feature), Bonjour l’asile is co-produced by Micro Climat Studios. Pre-bought by Canal+ and Ciné+, the feature film also benefits from the support of the CNC’s advance on receipts, the Brittany region, and the Cinécap and Cinémage Soficas. Filming will last seven weeks and take place almost entirely in Brittany with Tom Harari (nominated for the 2022 César and Lumière awards in his category for Onoda - 10 000 Nights in the Jungle [+lee también:
