OLIVER’S UNIVERSE

By Alexis Morante
Screenplay by Alexis Morante, Raul Santos & Miguel Angel Gonzales

Shooting in Spain in 2021

In financing

Coproduction with PECADO FILMS (Spain)

Winter 1985. Oliver (13) and his family are forced to move away for the fourth time in the last decade in the umpteenth attempt to remake their lives. Now they must come back to the only shelter they have: the house of grandfather Gabriel in the remotest and most deprived corner of Andalucía, el Campo de Gibraltar.

All these changes have transformed Oliver into a nervous, immature kid full of tics. In Algeciras, his parents argue more than ever, doesn’t fit well with the kids and with the school and, to make things worse, they will be evicted if his father does not find a job soon.

Oliver, used to seek comfort in his imagination, turns to his grandfather looking for help. Gabriel, called by everyone “the Loopy”, assured him that they are all jinxed because the starts aligned against them thousands of years ago; but now he has come up with a plan that will forever put an end to their bad luck: taking advantage of the visit of Halley’s Comet to Earth, they will build a “rocket-car” that will let them follow its tail and change the direction of the Universe. And Oliver is the only person able to help him find the last piece of the device. In his adventure to help his grandfather, Oliver will know the meaning of true friendship, first love, tolerance and, specially, he will learn to not only understand the adult’s world, but also to face the complex problems of daily life.

ALTER DUO

Scénario  André BUYTAERS et Luc JABON

Réalisateur André BUYTAERS

Tournage  Belgique, France et Italie en 2025

Co-Production  avec Pentacle Production France

Présentation vidéo https://vimeo.com/842177543

Synopsis :

Les jeunes violonistes et amies Marie Wendel et Kim Cheng sont en finale du concours Reine Elisabeth en Belgique. Une fausse note et la carrière de Marie s’arrête, tandis que Kim s’envole vers le succès.

Déçue, Marie végète dans le souvenir de sa sœur Clara, pianiste, décédée dans un accident de voiture. Avec elle, Marie formait Alter Duo, un ensemble fusionnel. Il faudra le flair de Max Kieffer, un agent, pour la relancer aux côtés de Luigi Faena, un pianiste en quête d’une nouvelle carrière. Orion&Sirius sera leur duo parfait jusqu’à sa disparition volontaire.

Comment Marie pourra-t-elle se reconstruire ? Une seule solution : partir sur les traces de Luigi dans l’Italie de sa jeunesse. Là-bas, avec l’aide de Francesco, un ami de Luigi, elle affrontera ce qu’elle ne voulait pas voir : l’arthrose de Luigi.

Marie veut alors ranger son violon et oublier son Alter Duo. A moins que Kim ne reprenne la partition de leur amitié pour lui montrer une nouvelle façon de vivre la musique.
