We present a exclusive clip of ‘The room of wonders’, the film based on the novel by Julien Sandrel which has just been released in theaters.

With the producers of ‘La familia Bélier’ (Éric Lartigau, 2014) at the helm, the film introduces us to Thelma, a woman whose life takes a tragic turn when an accident leaves her 12-year-old son Louis in a coma. Determined to wake him up by all means, she accepts the crazy challenge of completing one by one the “10 things to do before the end of the world” that he had written in his diary, to show him all the wonderful things that life offers. This journey through her teenage son’s dreams will take her much further than she ever imagined, rekindling her own will to live.

Lisa Azuelos, responsible for the hit ‘Welcome to the world of LOL’ (2008) -and of its North American remake with Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore, ‘LOL’- he directs ‘La habitación de las maravillas’. “Working on this idea of ​​pursuing my dreams was very good for me because I had the feeling of being at the end of my life,” the filmmaker confesses. “I would say ‘Room of Wonders’ is a bit like the movie ‘Eat Pray Love’, but French style! It shows how to face your comfort zone… Often when I had to introduce the movie , said: ‘it is the story of a mother who, in order to recover her son’s life, is going to recover her own life'”.

For it has had Alexandra Lamy as the protagonist, actress who we have seen shine in titles such as ‘Ricky’ (François Ozon, 2009), ‘The Infidels’ (Emmanuelle Bercot, Fred Cavayé, Alexandre Courtès, 2012), ‘Back to my mother’s house’ (Eric Lavaine, 2016) and ‘On wheels’ (Franck Dubosc, 2018). “Returning to drama, especially with this story, has allowed me to address issues that affect me in a visceral way,” explains the actress. “The good thing about Lisa is that she gives you a lot of freedom. We talked a lot about a wide variety of topics to give substance to this story. It was necessary because the film runs on a very fine thread. We were very scared that it would seem that this mother, that he travels the world to make the wishes of his hospitalized son come true, he is fleeing from his responsibilities and his misfortune and that he takes advantage of these trips around the world to clear his mind. We take great care of this aspect, both when writing the In both the script and the acting, we had to make it clear that everything she does is for Louis, even though Thelma ultimately comes back from that trip transformed.”
