You know her as an actress… Discover the director Alexandra Lamy. This September 22 is broadcast the event fiction Touchées, to discover in two parts on TF1. A unique experience for the actress who is behind the camera for the first time. “I’m so happy! I couldn’t wait for viewers to discover the film,” she explains in the pages of Télé 7 Jours.

Adapted from a famous comic strip, born from the imagination of Quentin Zuttion published by Payot editions in 2019, Touchées highlights a serious social theme. “This is the story of a group of women victims of domestic or sexual violence who pushed the door of a provincial association and who will try to rebuild themselves thanks to the practice of therapeutic fencing”, continues the director Alexandra Lamy to our colleagues. A fiction carried by three heroines with a poignant destiny.

The public discovers in particular the story of Lucie, a mother who has just moved to Anduze with her son Léo to flee a violent ex-spouse. Upon her arrival, she befriends Nicole and Tamara, two other women who have experienced an equally painful past. Together, they will move forward hand in hand in order to overcome their traumas through sport.

To embody these three heroines, Alexandra Lamy called on actresses familiar with her entourage. Like her best friend, actress Mélanie Doutey (Lucie), comedian Claudia Tagbo (Nicole) and her actress daughter Chloé Jouannet (Tamara). Facing her, Andréa Bescond embodies Eva, the therapist of this fencing workshop.

A prestigious casting which allowed Alexandra Lamy to attract the favor of the jury of the La Rochelle TV Fiction Festival 2022, winning the prize for best unit. “Thank you to all my team and to all my actresses and actors. Thank you Philip Boeffard. Thank you Quentin Zuttion.

On the same social network, the stars who took part in the TV movie shared many memories of the filming which took place from May 31 to June 30, 2021 in Occitania. Here is an anthology of several shots to discover in our slideshow.
