Berlin-based Films Boutique has made a significant early sale on Ariel Escalante Meza’s Un Certain Regard title Domingo And The Mist to Epicentre in France.
“It’s exciting to have a French distributor on board ahead of the market, as it is also reassuring to be working again with our long-term partners at Epicentre Film,” said Films Boutique CEO Jean-Christophe Simon.
Costa Rican director Meza is a Berlinale Talents alumnus and recipient of the National Prize for the Arts from Costa Rica’s Ministry of Culture in 2018. A renowne deditor, Domingo And The Mist is his second feature as director following The Sound Of Things in 2016
It is set in the tropical mountains of his homeland and is about a widower who refuses to sell a piece of land which contractors need to build a new highway. They send in thugs to intimidate him but he stands his ground.
The producers are Meza, Nicolás Wong, Felipe Zúñiga, Gaby Fonseca, Julio Hernández Cordón. The cast is led by Carlos Ureña, Sylvia Sossa, Aris Vindas and Esteban Brenes Serrano.
“Domingo And The Mist is a hypnotic and enchanting movie about loss, redemption and justice, that powerfully conveys the magical realism so characteristic of Latin America,” said Daniel Chabannes CEO of Epicentre Films.
