Produced by Curiosa Films and Waiting For Cinéma, the story is based on real-life events and revolves around a father and daughter who collaborated with the Germans in the Second World War: the journalist and press baron Jean Luchaire, who fled Sigmaringen upon France’s liberation and was later sentenced to death and executed in 1946, and his daughter Corinne, who was an up-and-coming actress between 1935 and 1940 before she was forced to halt her career for health reasons, who was briefly married to a German officer, who fled alongside her father having now become his secretary, and who was sentenced to ten years’ national indignity.

The CNC will also be backing Vie privée, the 6th feature film by Rebecca Zlotowski, who has travelled to Cannes three times (Belle épine [+lee también:
