Written by Arnaud and Jean-Marie Larrieu, the screenplay of what will be their first musical film tells the crazy misadventures of Tralala, a lost 48 year-old singer-songwriter who decides to go in search of the Virgin Mary. On his road, he miraculously discovers the music of a so-called Pat, a guitarist gone missing, and he takes on his identity with his mother.

Produced by Kevin Chneiweiss and Saïd Ben Saïd for SBS Productions, Tralala is co-produced and has been pre-bought by Arte France Cinéma. The feature, which has also benefited from the CNC’s support for genre films, will be shooting until mid-October in Lourdes. The score will be composed by Philippe Katerine. As for the choreography, it will be designed by Mathilde Monnier. Both French distribution and international sales will be handled by Pyramide.

As a reminder, SBS currently has in post-production both Benedetta [+leggi anche:
