To investigate the murder, she assumes the identity of her twin brother Antoine (Tom Hygreck; <em>Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets<\/em>, <em>Dolmen<\/em>) and enters the police force as a man.<\/p>\n<p><em>La Gar\u00e7onne<\/em>\u00a0is from Paris-based Mother Production and co-producer Gedesel. The deal marks eOne\u2019s first French-language acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was about four years ago when I first heard about the concept for this project from the terrific team at Mother, and I was immediately fascinated by the superb mix of dynamic period detail and gripping crime story, combined with very contemporary themes about identity,\u201d commented Noel Hedges, eOne\u2019s executive VP of acquisitions, international distribution. \u201cMother always brings a fresh, exciting vibrancy to their productions and together with a unique performance from Laura, we are hugely excited to bring the series to international audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mother Production said: \u201cWith <em>La Gar\u00e7onne<\/em>, we wanted to tackle contemporary issues, with a universal and playful approach. We fell in love with our main protagonist Louise, a woman who dressed up as her twin brother in order to save her life as well as assume a role that society would not permit. Accepting a man\u2019s job and refusing to go back to menial tasks, she frees her brother of the duties of a cop which was forced upon him by their father. We believe that a woman\u2019s emancipation is a fight for everyone\u2019s freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment One (eOne) has acquired the international distribution rights for France 2\u2019s crime drama La Gar\u00e7onne, starring Laura Smet (Les Corps Impatients, Yves Saint Laurent).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":12424,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[475,273],"class_list":["post-12423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-entertainment-one","tag-eone","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
