MONTREAL — Seville Pictures has sold a somber Quebec feature about teen suicide currently making headlines across the province to three countries.

Tout est parfait (Everything Is Fine), which opened the Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois to an enthusiastic crowd last week, is produced by Go Film’s Nicole Robert (Quebec-Montreal) and is the first feature for director Yves-Christian Fournier.

It will be distributed in France, Switzerland and in the joint territory of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, thanks to a deal between Seville International and UGC Images closed at the European Film Market in Berlin.

The film recounts the tale of Josh, an adolescent living in a lower middle-class suburb whose four friends collectively commit suicide.

‘This film has aroused a genuine emotional reaction from the people at UGC Images. They were immediately convinced,’ says Anick Poirier, VP of international sales at Seville, in a statement.

Also in Berlin, Image Entertainment has taken the U.S. rights for Paolo Barzman’s Emotional Arithmetic, which opened last year’s Toronto International Film Festival.
