Rome-based sales company True Colours has boarded Italian director Ginevra Elkann’s new feature “The Roses of Marrakesh” (“Le Rose di Marrakech”) starring Fanny Aradant as an aged matron named Madame Isabelle who lives in a luxurious estate in the Palmeraie of Marrakech.

Elkann, who is a granddaughter of former Fiat automaker chief Gianni Agnelli, is a London Film School graduate who worked as an assistant to Bernardo Bertolucci and Anthony Minghella. She made her directorial debut with “Magari” (“If Only”), a semi-autobiographical comedy about the disconnect felt by kids with divorced parents that opened the Locarno Film Festival in 2019. She followed with the black comedy “I Told You So” that launched from Toronto in 2023. “The Roses of Marrakesh,” her third feature, is set in the famous Agnelli estate in Marrakech known as Aïn Kassimou.
