More from Deadline

Written and directed by Marc Fitoussi, who worked with Calamy on Call My Agent!, Two Tickets to Greece tells the story of Blandine (Côte), who is recently divorced and helplessly watching her only son leave home when her former best friend Magalie (Calamy) suddenly resurfaces and encourages them to take the Greek Islands trip they dreamed of as teenagers. However, Magalie’s very different approach to travel – and life – wreaks havoc on their vacation, including a memorable stay with Magalie’s free-spirited friend (Thomas).

Pic’s producers are Caroline Bonmarchand and Isaac Sherry.

“When the deliriously madcap Laure Calamy decides to take a holiday to the Greek Isles with her besties, audiences that appreciate smartly written and acted vacation comedies in exotic locales will be delighted to come along,” said Greenwich’s Edward Arentz in a statement to Deadline.

Arentz negotiated the acquisition on behalf of Greenwich Entertainment, with Nicolas Eschbach from Indie Sales on behalf of the filmmakers.
