Brave, joyful and resilient, she manages things as best she can, finding fuel and unconditional comfort in alcohol. Garance subsequently changes her life and sets out on an eight-year journey of relocations, work, encounters, parties, anxieties, joyful moments and harsh blows… She embarks upon an intimate, friendship-focused and sexual revolution, but she continues to drink increasing amounts. Until death seems to loom...

Garance is being produced by Hugo Sélignac and Nicolas Dumont on behalf of Chi-Fou-Mi Productions and by Alain Attal for Trésor Films, in co-production with Belgian firm Artémis Productions. The film’s array of partners will be revealed at a later date. Shooting will unfold in Paris, the surrounding region and in Soulac-sur-Mer until 3 December, with Antoine Cormier (The Kingdom) heading up photography.

For the record, Chi-Fou-Mi Productions are currently overseeing post-production on Alexandre Smia’s Jupiter (read our article) and Quentin Dupieux’s mysterious movie Signaux, having recently produced Dog 51 by Cédric Jimenez (which closed the Venice Film Festival), Out of Love [+lee también:
