France TV Distribution is presenting four new TV movies, including two female-fronted action thrillers, a light crime drama and a dramedy, at this year’s Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Le Havre, which runs Sept. 7-10.
The sales company’s muscular lineup already includes the historical drama “Swapped,” about a young wet nurse in 19th-century Paris forced to secretly swap her child with that of a wealthy woman grieving the sudden loss of her infant, and the high-profile mystery drama “Our Missing Sons.”
Of new titles, “Alma,” a vigilante thriller centering on Alice, a young woman shaped by a violent past who channels her rage into boxing and community service, while dedicating her nights to Alma, a safety app she created to protect women from assault. When a serial rapist infiltrates their system, Alice crosses a line: Masked, she tracks down and confronts the attacker. Her quest for justice turns into a thirst for revenge, putting her friends and her cop girlfriend, who knows nothing about her double life, in danger.
“Alma” stars Ludmilla Makowski (“The Au Pair,” “Lupin“), Roxane Turmel and Myriam Djeljeli. Adeline Darraux directs from a script by Gaétane Chevallereau, Bénédicte Bonheur, Marie Bourgeois, Chloé Paye and Camille Pinier.
