The film is produced by Anton and Traffic in association with Anonymous Content. Bleecker Street took U.S. rights last summer.
Greek director Konstantina Kotzamani’s Titanic Ocean, coming-of-age tale set in a special boarding school in Japan that trains teenage girls into professional mermaids, will also debut in Un Certain Regard. Athens-based Homemade Films (To a Land Unknown, Arcadia) lead produces in co-production with Wunderlust, Defilm, Manny Films, Frida Films and Happinet Phantom Studios.
