Written by the director, the story revolves around Claire and Sophie who studied together and are both now lawyers. When Claire is accused of attempting to murder a child under 15 years of age, Sophie takes up her defence. How can it be that Claire, a mother to two children, didn’t see or feel that she was once again pregnant?
Produced by Stéphanie Douet on behalf of Sensito Films, And Yet We Were All Blind has been pre-purchased by Canal+ and enjoys the support of the Occitanie region. The six-week film shoot will unfold in the Paris and Toulouse regions, wrapping mid-January. Distribution in France will be managed by Jour2Fête with international sales falling to The Party Film Sales.
