Distributed worldwide by France tv distribution, THE GIRL WITHOUT A NAME will be launched at the Unifrance Rendez-Vous, which will take place from January 14 to 21, 2025 in Paris.

THE GIRL WITHOUT A NAME is produced by Gabman and will be distributed in French cinemas by UGC Distribution & Originals Factory.

Synopsis

2008, northern France.

Marion and her little sister Jeanne, witness their mother Catherine (Cécile de France) getting back with a man who brings back bad memories. One evening, the man assaults Catherine in a drunken rage, forcing Marion to intervene violently to help her. Panicked, Marion runs to her father’s, who is normally not allowed to see his daughters. He takes advantage of Marion's distress to convince her to move to Brussels with him under a new identity.

Fifteen years later, Marion (Diane Rouxel), having heard nothing from her mother and sister, finds Jeanne (Salomé Dewaels) - who is now a singer - on the internet, and sets off to meet her. But Jeanne doesn't recognize her, so Marion decides to introduce herself under her new name: Louise. Pretending to want to write an article about her, Louise interferes in Jeanne's life, learning all over again about the girl she was once so close to, while seeking answers to the questions that have haunted her since childhood. It's a game of deception and pretense that plunges her back into her past, and leads her to cross paths with Catherine again.

Louise finds herself torn between two identities, faced with a choice that will determine the rest of her life: to remain who she has become or to reveal the truth and pick up where her life left off.

Alexandre René (VP International Cinema Sales at France tv distribution) and Julia Schulte (SVP International Sales at France tv distribution):

"THE GIRL WITHOUT A NAME is the debut film by Nicolas Keitel, and we are thrilled to support its journey, debuting at the Paris Rendez-vous. After fleeing her troubled childhood, Marion reconnects with her sister 15 years later, hoping to piece together the fragments of her identity. A powerful drama that will leave no one indifferent."
