“The Electric Kiss,” the French movie that will world premiere on opening night at the Cannes Film Festival, has been boarded by Playtime for international sales.

Directed by Pierre Salvadori, the film is set in Paris in 1928 and follows Antoine Balestro (Pio Marmaï), a painter at the height of his fame who has been unable to work since the death of his wife, Irène (Vimala Pons), much to the despair of his gallery owner, Armand (Gilles Lellouche).
