The Paris-based banner’s roster of completed roster includes Karim Moussaoui’s “L’Effacement,” and Annie Ernaux’s documentary “Les annes Super-8.” “Mona” revolves around around a woman in her 60’s who raised alone her disabled son and is at a point in her life where she aspires to start caring for herself.
But when her son is unexpectedly having a baby, Mona finds herself with another heavy responsibility to bear. David Thion, producer and co-founder (with Philippe Martin) of Les Films Pelleas, said the film is timely and based on things Bailly observed. “It’s a beautiful and emotional story about a single mother and a caretaker,” said the Paris-based producer who is now at Telluride to present “One Fine Morning,” the sole French title of the official selection.
Filming is expected to begin next Spring. Bailly is a graduate of France’s prestigious film school La Femis. “Une part manquante,” meanwhile, marks Senez’s follow up to “Nos Batailles” which earned its star Romain Duris a Cesar nomination.
