The beta movie is riding “A Nice Confusion – Rob the Rich.” It’s a keen social drama that means catching up with Jones is turning into a crime.
The six-part farce blends adventure with romantic comedy and class satire follows Justin (Eleonore Bernheim, “The Art of Crime”) and Remi (Gil Alma, “The Wagner Law”). Desperate to maintain their appearance, they dive straight into a nocturnal double life, rediscovering them halfway through, revealing bigger secrets and rediscovering each other for a long time to make an impression.
Produced by Paris-based Indie Redstone for French television, “A Lovely Mess – Rob the Rich” comes from writer Sarah Tissandier and director Stéphanie Pillonca. More serialized than procedural, the show still leaned towards the “misdemeanor” tradition of French television. It’s a playful tone that has proven to travel with audiences both domestically and internationally.
Betafilm will be selling internationally on Mipcom as part of a diverse lineup, including the series Mozart Mozart, Empathy, and Velvet New York – The New Empire.
Produced by German Storyhouse Pictures (“Sisi”) and ARD, Mozart Mozart rethinks the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart through the eyes of his talented sister Maria Anna.
