Valérie Perrin at the heart of the project
The author Valérie Perrin will have a right to look at the adaptation of her novel, which since its release in 2018 has become a bestseller.
And more particularly on the scenario resuming its intrigue, and on the choice of the actress who will have to play her heroine Violette Toussaint.
Changing the Water of Flowers tells the story of Violette Toussaint, a cemetery keeper from a small town in Burgundy who used to welcome visitors and onlookers to her lodge.
The daily life of this optimist, punctuated by the confidences of those she meets, changes with the passage in her cemetery of two visitors like no other.
