Films We Like has acquired the Canadian rights to MADELEINE COLLINS by Antoine Barraud, a psychological thriller starring BENEDETTA star Virginie Elfira. Antoine Barraud was nominated for the Giornate degli Autori Award for MADELEINE COLLINS at the 2021 Venice Film Festival, where the film had its world premiere.
Judith (Virginie Efira) is leading a busy double life: one in France and one in Switzerland. She has two lovers, Abdel (Quim Gutiérrez) with whom she has a little girl Ninon (Loïse Benguerel), and Melvil (Bruno Salomone), with whom she has two older boys. What seems like a delicate balancing act from Judith is a life built on lies, secrets, and a constant juggle between the same conversations without making any progress. With pressure mounting steadily on Judith from both her personal and professional life, she starts to crack under pressure and gets caught in a trap. With a decision needing to be made on which life she wants to choose, Judith decides to run away from it all, losing all control while the situation spirals out of control.
