Berlin-based M-Appeal has boarded “When I Existed,” a buzzy, feel-good second-chance drama comedy and Kafkian social satire which proved a standout at the Cannes Market’s Ventana Sur Goes to Cannes showcase, marking an auspicious debut for Uruguay’s Alejandro Damiani and Martin Avdolov.

A select but discerning sales agent of Latin American movies, M-Appeal has picked up international sales on “When I Existed” (“Cuando Existia”) just weeks before the feature’s world premiere in the Critics’ Picks Competition at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival.
