Presented as a world premiere and in official selection in the Cannes Premi\u00e8re section of the Cannes Film Festival last year and its Canadian premiere during the 31st edition of the Cinemania festival last November, CONNEMARA stars M\u00e9lanie Thierry (Goodbye Up There, Suddenly Alone) Bastien Bouillon (The Count of Monte Cristo, Leaving One Day) and Jacques Gamblin (The Name of People, The First Day of the Rest of Your Life).<\/p>\n<p>Coming from a modest background, H\u00e9l\u00e8ne left the Vosges a long time ago. Today, she is in her forties. A brutal burnout forces her to leave Paris and return to where she grew up, between Nancy and Epinal. She settles in with her family, finds a good job, quality of life in short&#8230; One evening, in the parking lot of a franchise restaurant, she sees a familiar face, Christophe Marchal, the handsome hockey player from her high school years. Christophe, this distant object of desire, a connection that H\u00e9l\u00e8ne did not see coming&#8230; In their embrace, there are two Frances, two now foreign worlds who dream of loving each other. Will this idyll, this island be possible for them?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Connemara \/ BA VF (Bient\u00f4t au cin\u00e9ma)\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1115485859?h=28fae39d06&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\">[embedded content]<\/iframe>Adapted from the eponymous novel by Nicolas Mathieu, a huge success in bookstores, CONNEMARA paints the delicate and poignant portrait of a woman in search of meaning and renewal. The film unfolds a social and romantic fresco where incisive dialogues, dark humor, fatality and class relations mingle. Through this intimate drama, Alex Lutz questions social determinisms, belonging to an environment and the trajectories of those who stay and those who leave, offering a look that is both tender and lucid on France. Distributed in Canada by TVA Films, CONNEMARA will be released in Quebec on July 3, 2026.<\/p><div id=\"linit-2106099165\" class=\"linit-dans-le-contenu linit-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8992136571741975\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px;\" \ndata-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8992136571741975\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6185130430\"><\/ins> \n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"linit-3296472900\" class=\"linit-apres-contenu linit-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8992136571741975\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px;\" \ndata-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8992136571741975\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6185130430\"><\/ins> \n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TVA Films is pleased to announce that the film CONNEMARA, by Alex Lutz, will be released on July 3 in Quebec.
