Other Peoples Children

Music Box Films has acquired US rights to Rebecca Zlotowski’s Other People’s Children ahead of its US premiere at Sundance Film Festival, which kicks off next week.

Virginie Efira, Roschdy Zem, and Chiara Mastroianni star in the drama about a woman who lives with her new love and his four-year-old daughter and ponders starting her own family relatively late in life. Efira will receive the honorary Unifrance French Cinema Award later this month.

Other People’s Children premiered in Venice last year and went on to screen as a Special Presentation at TIFF. It plays in Sundance’s Spotlight section on January 20.

Music Box Films’ Brian Andreotti negotiated the deal with CAA Media Finance and Wild Bunch International and plans a spring 2023 theatrical and home entertainment release.

Zlotowski’s previous credits include An Easy Girl and Planetarium.
