According to Daily Variety, an independent studio has nabbed the rights to Michel Gondry's The Thorn in the Heart.
The documentary, which premiered in Cannes, follows his aunt, Suzette Gondry, and her son, Jean Yves, as they live and work in a small community in rural France.
Thorn was produced and financed by Gondry through his shingle, Partizan films. It is his second film after the 2005 cult hit, Dave Chappelle's Block Party.
