\n\tFrance TV Distribution<\/a> has boarded \u201cLaura\u2019s Treatments,\u201d a critically-acclaimed social thriller that recently took top honors at the La Rochelle Fiction Festival. The international distributor will launch sales at next week\u2019s Mipcom<\/a> in Cannes.<\/p>\n

\n\tProduced by Tetra Media Fiction and Torcello, the four-part series stars Val\u00e9rie Bonneton (\u201cLittle White Lies\u201d) as Laura, a small-town pharmacist who runs a support group for victims of domestic abuse. When one of her group members is murdered before her eyes and another\u2019s plea for help goes unanswered, Laura is driven to act. Consumed by grief and anger at a system that turns a blind eye, she takes justice into her own hands. But how far is she willing to go to defend the women she\u2019s sworn to protect? <\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking to Le Parisien<\/a>, co-creators Marie Kremer and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Krivine (\u201cA French Village\u201d) explained that while the series is not based on a true story, it draws deeply from real social issues. Kremer said they wanted to explore \u201cthe lack of justice for women\u201d through fiction, telling the story from the perspective of someone who is not a direct victim to help viewers identify more closely with her. <\/p>\n

\n\tDirector Akim Isker said Bonneton\u2019s character reflects \u201cus, the audience,\u201d an ordinary person compelled to act when institutions fail. \u201cWe\u2019re not offering answers,\u201d he added. \u201cOur aim is to raise questions and spark debate.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tFor Bonneton, the shoot was one of the most emotionally challenging of her career. \u201cIt was painful and very difficult. I was shaken,\u201d she said, recalling her meetings with real survivors of domestic violence and the sobering statistics showing that 113 French women were killed by a partner or ex-partner in 2025, compared with 118 in 2024. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe all know women who have gone through this,\u201d Bonneton continued. \u201cAnd I have too. Every year, 200,000 women file complaints, but many more stay silent out of fear. I understand Laura \u2014 she can\u2019t bear it anymore. She knows more women will die, and she acts. It\u2019s stronger than her, beyond reason, almost a sacrifice. I hope this series helps bring change. I want to carry these women\u2019s voices.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"France TV Distribution has boarded \u201cLaura\u2019s Treatments,\u201d a critically-acclaimed social thriller that recently took top honors at the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":487770,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5309],"tags":[2000,299,36,161206,160108],"class_list":{"0":"post-487769","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-france","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-france","11":"tag-france-tv-distribution","12":"tag-mipcom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115348738081260325","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
