Courtesy of Les Valseurs Paris-based sales agent Urban Sales has boarded Ricardo Alves Jr.’s “The French Teacher” ahead of its world premiere at the Horizontes Latinos section of the San Sebastián International Film Festival. The deal is part of a co-representation partnership with Les Valseurs Distribution, with the two companies handling a joint international sales mandate for the film.
“The French Teacher” stars Grace Passô as the titular teacher, Graça. She lives in the sprawling Minas Gerais capital of Belo Horizonte, and gives private French lessons alongside her French girlfriend. When her ageing father has a health scare, Graça returns to her childhood home in the suburbs, where a neighboring family leads a growing local religious congregation with cult-like undertones. As Graça grapples with her father’s decay, the group entraps her in a world of intolerance, with the director building a psychological thriller deeply embedded in the world of religious fanaticism.
