Written by the director, the script centres on Jean and Sarah. Bankrupted after buying a guesthouse which has wrecked their relationship, they think they’ve found a solution when they learn about a fabulous treasure which is said to be in the area. They set off determined to find it, even if it means falling in love again.
Le Trésor is produced by Stéphanie Bermann and Alexis Dulguerian for Domino Films, in co-production with UGC (who will release the film in cinemas and who’ve also acquired international sales rights). Pre-purchased by Ciné+ OCS, the feature film also enjoys support from the Brittany region where shooting will unfold between 7 April and 10 May (primarily in Rennes and Saint-Malo), with Brice Pancot (Magnetic Beats [+see also:
