Khalil Cherti's 'Our Way to You' Boarded by Salaud Morisset

The international film market is buzzing with the announcement that global sales company Salaud Morisset has acquired the worldwide rights to 'Our Way to You,' known in French as 'Ce qui nous mène à toi.' This eagerly anticipated project marks the narrative feature film debut of French-Moroccan filmmaker Khalil Cherti. Produced by Amaury Ovise under the banner of Kazak Productions, the film has already established a strong festival pedigree before its broader commercial rollout, capturing two prestigious awards during its world premiere at the Angoulême Film Festival.

The narrative centers on the deeply personal and emotional struggles of a couple, Charlie and Hicham. Their core desire to start a family leads them down a difficult path involving infertility challenges and assisted reproductive treatment. Spanning a period of three years, the story chronicles their perseverance through alternating waves of hope and heartbreak, testing both the limits of their love and the resilience of their bodies. Director Khalil Cherti has built a reputation for exploring profound human connections, previously tackling complex family dynamics in his acclaimed short work 'Wherever Comes the Pain From' and emotional resilience in 'Je, d’un accident ou d’amour.'

To bring this intimate story to life, Cherti assembled a formidable cast of French cinema talent. César award-winning actress Nina Meurisse, recognized for her compelling work in 'Souleymane’s Story' and 'The Rapture,' takes on the role of Charlie. She stars alongside Sofian Khammes, known for 'My Brothers and I,' who portrays Hicham. The ensemble is further strengthened by the presence of Jeanne Balibar, a César winner for her role in 'Barbara.' The combination of such acting heavyweights elevates the emotional weight of the narrative, promising deeply resonant performances.

As the film prepares for the next phase of its journey, its festival trajectory is expanding rapidly. Following its triumphant launch in Angoulême, 'Our Way to You' is slated to begin its international tour in November with an appearance at the Cairo International Film Festival. This screening will introduce Cherti's sensitive storytelling to a broader global audience and critical circuit.

Domestically, audiences in France will have the opportunity to experience the film in theaters starting November 11, with distribution handled by Condor Distribution. Given the universal themes of love, family, and the trials of modern medicine, industry insiders anticipate that the film will strike a chord with moviegoers far beyond French borders. Salaud Morisset's acquisition ensures that the film will find distribution channels across multiple international territories, positioning Cherti as a distinct new voice in contemporary European and North African cinema.
