Arcelia Ramirez, Álvaro Guerrero, Jorge A. Jimenez (Narcos, From Dusk till Dawn) SYNOPSIS La Civil tells the story of Cielo, a mother in search of her daughter, abducted by a drug cartel in Northern Mexico. As the authorities fail to offer support in the search, Cielo takes matters into her own hands. Cielo begins her own investigation and earns the trust and sympathy of Lamarque, an unconventional army Lieutenant working in the region. He agrees to help Cielo in her search, because her research data could be useful to his operations as well. Cielo’s collaboration with Lamarque pulls her further into a vicious cycle of violence. The film focusses on Cielo’s emotional rollercoaster, as she is drawn into increasingly intense and dangerous circumstances. The camera stays close, we never lose sight of her as she gradually transforms from housewife into avenging activist. As events unfold, Cielo gets closer to the truth: discovering a mass grave, obtaining official DNA analyses, confronting one of the presumed kidnappers, but corruption and apathy keep her from finding resolution. Until the end finally comes, unpredictable and uninvited… The story was inspired by true events. CREW Scriptwriter : Habacuc Antonio De Rosario & Teodora Ana Mihai D.O.P. : Marius Panduru Editor: Alain Dessauvage PRODUCTION La Civil is a production from Belgian company Menuetto (Hans Everaert) in coproduction with One for the Road (Teodora Ana Mihai - Belgium), Les Films du Fleuve (Brothers Dardenne - Belgium), Mobra Films (Cristian Mungiu - Romania) and Teorema (Michel Franco - Mexico). Menuetto is a production company established in 2017 by Hans Everaert, former general manager of Menuet (Girl, The Broken Circle Breakdown and The Misfortunates). The project was developed in collaboration with the Cinéfondation (Festival de Cannes) and Torino Film Lab. The main funder of La Civil was the Flanders Audiovisual Fund (VAF) with additional support from the Belgian Cinema and Audiovisual Centre, the Romanian Film Centre (CNC) and Eurimages.
