“I promised you I would wait until after the trial, but you had earned it long before then.”
Gloria (Victoria Abril)
The inhabitants of Saint-Yriex, a pretty town in the Angoulême area, were pleasantly surprised to see Victoria Abril and the whole team of the TV movie La Loi de Gloria arrive. This one having taken possession of the local cemetery for the shooting of two determining scenes, of which the one that concludes the story.
Mostly shot in Angoulême, like the other TV movies of the saga La Loi de… La Loi de Gloria fed a lot the local economy but also hired some inhabitants to play the extras. In spite of the tragic character of the plot, Victoria Abril and her partners were able to appreciate the hospitality of the Angoumoisines and spend good moments. The director Didier Le Pêcheur had the opportunity to return to the series, after having directed the TV movie La Loi de Simon with Daniel Prévost and the three episodes of the mini-series La Loi de Barbara, with Josiane Balasko. A Franco-Belgian co-production, the TV movie series La Loi de… drew large audiences on France 3.
Director Didier Le Pêcheur has also written two feature films, Ô Jérusalem and Harrison’s Flowers, by Éli Chouraqui.
