Charlotte and Liza are two 17-year-old friends who are both crazy about music and who are as diametrically opposed as they are well-suited. Inseparable since childhood, they experience adolescence together joyfully while dreaming of one thing: finishing high school and, once they’ve got their BAC under their belts, moving to Paris where anything seems possible. But tragedy strikes, tearing them apart, and Charlotte finds herself alone, edging closer to adulthood while harbouring dreams for two…

Les immortelles is produced by Laurine Pelassy on behalf of Les Films de la Capitaine and by Eduardo Sosa Soria for La Féline Films, in co-production with Les Films de Force Majeure, Srab Films and Canadian firm Possibles Media. Notably supported by the Sud and Normandy regions, as well as the Alpes Maritimes department, the City of Nice, SACEM, CICLIC (for the film’s writing), Quebec’s SODEC and Téléfilm Canada, the feature film will continue shooting until 23 October, with Vincent Biron heading up photography. Music in the movie will be composed by Calypso Valois and Yoa, while international sales are steered by Celluloïd Dreams and French distribution by New Story.

For the record, Les Films de la Capitaine and La Féline Films are currently overseeing post-production on Une fille au-dessus de tout by Jean-Luc Gaget (read our article).
