In development (looking for co-productions/pre-sales)
The private library of an old millionaire widower hides a mystery. The young librarian in charge of tidying up, Alice, dangerously identifies herself with ethe man’s deceased wife. She decides to complete the job anyway to honor the old owner’s last wish. But when the millionaire’s son wants to sell the villa, she’ll discover the terribly family secrets between the pages of those books.
When we hide our frailites behind the enchantment of culture, we approach the dark abyss that creates knowledge. And we cannot help but follow in the footsteps of those who have already lived those stories.
