Les Films Opale has unveiled the pre-poster for the film LA CORDONNIÈRE. Produced by André Rouleau and Valérie d’Auteuil, directed by François Bouvier and written by Sylvain Guy, based on Pauline Gill’s best-selling novels, which have sold over 100,000 copies, the film will open on Friday, March 17, 2023.
Actress Rose-Marie Perreault plays the title role of Victoire Du Sault, the first woman to work as a cobbler in Quebec in the mid-19th century. She is surrounded by a rich cast including Pierre-Yves Cardinal, Nicolas Fontaine, Élise Guilbault, Madeleine Péloquin, Jeff Boudreault, Anick Lemay, Henri Picard, Frédéric Millaire-Zouvi, Antoine Pilon, Martin Larocque, Marcel Sabourin, and Gabriel Sabourin.
LA CORDONNIÈRE tells the story of Victoire Du Sault, founder of the shoemaking company that made the Dufresnes’ fortune, better known for the castle that bears their name in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. Although the entrepreneurial spirit and career path of this visionary are admirable, it is above all her love affair that forms the heart of this melodrama where an impossible love, a sulphurous love triangle and a shocking family secret are intertwined and may leave no one unscathed.
