Particularly high up on the firm’s line-up is Albert Serra’s eagerly awaited Liberté [+lee también:

, which will be competing in this year’s Un Certain Regard section. Set in 1774, shortly before the French Revolution, somewhere between Potsdam and Berlin, the film follows a group of libertines expelled from the puritanical court of Louis XVI. In a bid to export libertinism and find a safe haven where they can pursue their aberrant fun and games, they seek the support of the legendary Duc de Walchen, a German serial seducer and freethinker. Produced by Idéale Audience, Rosa Filmes and Andergraun Films, Serra’s new feature stars the renowned Helmut Berger, as well as Marc Susini and Baptiste Pinteaux.

Also glimmering on Films Boutique’s Cannes slate is Adam [+lee también:

by Chinese-born Canadian director Johnny Ma. Produced by Image X Productions and House on Fire, the drama follows Zhao Li, the manager of a small Sichuan opera troupe that lives and performs in a rundown theatre located on the outskirts of Chengdu, China. After receiving a notice saying the theatre is due to be demolished, she hides the news from everyone else and struggles to find a new place for her and the troupe to live and sing in.
