The Successor
Directed by Xavier Legrand
Produced by Stenola Productions, Metafilms
A dark family drama that uses inheritance and paternal legacy as a gateway into psychological unease and buried secrets.
Happy and accomplished, Ellias becomes the new artistic director of a famous French Haute Couture house. When he learns that his father, whom he has not seen for many years, has just died of a heart attack, Ellias goes to Quebec to settle the estate. The young creator will discover that he has inherited much worse than his father's fragile heart.
