film profile]), the story is summed up in a few words by the following snippets released by the producers: "A middle-class house in the middle of nowhere. A council estate in Sète. A mother and daughter. Two childhood friends. A vanishing. Blackmail. A clash between two worlds."

Produced by François Kraus and Denis Pineau-Valencienne for Les Films du Kiosque, and by Maxime Delauney and Romain Rousseau for Nolita Cinema, Tout nous sépare also has MyFamily on board as an associate producer. Co-produced by TF1 Studio (which will also handle the international sales) and by Belgian outfit Umedia, the feature has also been pre-purchased by OCS and Ciné+, and is benefiting from backing from the Languedoc-Roussillon-Midi-Pyrénées region and the La Banque Postale Image Sofica. The shoot will take place during June and July in Sète (Hérault) and Perpignan (Pyrénées-Orientales), and the cinematography has been entrusted to Julien Hirsch (winner of the César Award in his category in 2007 for Lady Chatterley [+see also:
