The story, written by the director herself, depicts three days in the life of Nino – the wanderings of a young man in Paris, as he is torn between his yearning for solitude and his need for other people.

Nino is being produced by Sandra da Fonseca for Blue Monday Productions and is being co-produced by France 2 Cinéma. Having also been pre-purchased by Ciné+, OCS and Disney+, the feature is also being backed by the CNC’s advance on receipts, the Cinémage Sofica and the Île-de-France region, where the six-week shoot will take place until 14 November, with Lucie Baudinaud (Olga [+lee también:
