The story, written by Cédric Klapisch and Santiago Amigorena (both nominated for the 2023 César Award for Best Original Screenplay for Rise), is set in Baron Haussmann’s Paris at the end of the 19th century and the present day. Today, in 2024, 30 or so people from a single family find out that they are about to inherit a house that has been abandoned for several years. Four of them, Seb, Abdel, Céline and Guy, are in charge of doing the inventory of the place. These distant “cousins” will then discover hidden treasures in this old house. They will find themselves following the tracks of a mysterious woman called Adèle, who left her native Normandy at the age of 20. Adèle ends up in Paris in 1895, just as the city is in the middle of an industrial and cultural revolution. For the four cousins, this introspective journey looking into their family tree will enable them to discover this unusual moment at the end of the 19th century, a time that saw both the invention of photography and the birth of Impressionism. This clash between the two eras, 2024 and 1895, will put a question mark over their present and their ideals, and will shed light on what the “arrival of the future” actually means.

La venue de l’avenir is being produced by Bruno Lévy and Cédric Klapisch for Ce Qui Me Meut Motion Pictures, and co-produced by France 2 Cinéma, StudioCanal and Belgian outfits La Compagnie Cinématographique and Panache Productions. Having been pre-purchased by Canal+ and Ciné+, the feature has also secured support from the Normandy and Ile-de-France regions, where the shoot is taking place, with Alexis Kavyrchine (winner of a César Award in his category in 2021 for Bye Bye Morons [+lee también:
