Written by the director, the script centres on Will and Rita who help a woman give birth in a pizzeria. It is the first time they have met. They fall irresistibly in love with each other...

Sans cesse mon chéri is produced by Caroline Nataf for Unité, and co-produced by France 3 Cinéma. Pre-bought by Netflix and France Télévisions, the feature also benefits from advance funding from the CNC and Sofica Cinémage and SofiTVCiné. The seven weeks of filming will end on 5 December and will take place in Paris and the Ile-de-France region, with Inès Tabarin as director of photography. International sales are being handled by Lucky Number and distribution in France will be handled by Zinc.

As a reminder, Unité has several films in post-production, including Bombonera by Syrine Boulanouar (read the article), L’écologie des sentiments by Alexandre Steiger (starring Andranic Manet and Salomé Rose Stein) and In a Whisper by Leyla Bouzid (released in France on 18 March 2026).
