The film will be in competition on this year’s Croisette.

After God’s word, Summer e Petrov’s Flu (the last two both already in competition at Cannes in 2018 and 2021), Kirill Serebrennikova director for years opposed by the Russian government for his strongly critical positions against President Putin’s anti-democratic laws, adds a fourth jewel to the I Wonder Pictures catalog.

Tchaikovsky’s Wife tells the story of Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s marriage to Antonina Miliukova, one of the most important moments in the composer’s life. The decision to marry to put an end to the gossip that surrounded him put him in serious crisis. When he then changed his mind, deciding to separate from her, her choice completely devastated the woman, driving her to the madness of her.

The film will be part of the out-of-competition visions. Talk about the protest that erupts in the streets of Santiago in 2019.
