A Psychological Thriller Set In Spain
Filmed in early 2025 in El Port de la Selva, Catalonia, and later in Corrèze, France, Karma is a psychological thriller set in northern Spain. The synopsis? Here it is: Jeanne (Marion Cotillard) is trying to rebuild her life with Daniel, who knows nothing of her troubled past. One day, Mateo, Jeanne’s six-year-old godson, mysteriously disappears. To escape the police, who quickly suspect her, Jeanne takes refuge in France in a religious community where she was born and which she had fled a few years earlier. Daniel doesn’t believe the woman he loves is guilty and will do everything he can to find her before the police.
Karma also marks the last collaboration of the Canet – Cotillard couple. Indeed, on June 27, 2025, a month after the end of filming, they announced their separation in a joint statement sent to AFP, specifying that they were making their separation public “in order to avoid any speculation, rumor and risky interpretation”, and that they had decided to separate after 18 years of living together “by mutual agreement” and in “a spirit of good understanding”.
Karma by Guillaume Canet, starring Marion Cotillard and Denis Ménochet, in cinemas from October 21, 2026.
