A 1954 romance by Françoise Sagan is what inspired actress and sometime producer Durga Chew-Bose to become a first time writer-director.

Otto Preminger made a film out of “Hello Sadness” (the title’s translation) in the ’50s, with Jean Seberg, Deborah Kerr and David Niven.

Here, it’s McInerny (“Palm Trees and Power Lines”) and Claes Bang (“The Square,” “The Northman,””The Burnt Orange Heresy”) as the father and daughter and Dad’s latest lover (Nailia Harzoune) whose vacation is disrupted by the arrival of the challenging friend of the late wife and “godmother” (Chloë Sevigny) to the somewhat innocent teen. Greenwich Entertainment has this slated for May 2 release.
