Salvadori wrote the screenplay for his eleventh feature film together with Benoît Graffin and Benjamin Charbit, in which the story is set in early twentieth-century Paris and revolves around a painter who seeks contact with his deceased wife through a medium. The film, produced by Les Films Pelléas in co-production with France 2 Cinéma and Versus Production, is being released in France by Diaphana, while Goodfellas handles international sales.
