Currently in post-production for a 2026 release, the drama retells the true story of a youngster raised by ostriches in the Sahara.

The Desert Child follows Maistre’s hit Autumn and the Black Jaguar, which grossed $30M at the international box office, and upcoming release Moon The Panda, which hits French and Eastern Europe cinemas this April.

Moon the Panda will be released in Hungary (on April 10), Romania (on April 11), Czech Republic and Slovakia (on April 24) by Prorom.

„Over the years, our local audiences have truly fallen in love with Gilles de Maistre’s movies. So we are very happy that after Mia and The White Lion, The Wolf and The Lion and Autumn And The Black Jaguar, we can soon enchant children and adults alike with The Desert Child” says Axel Böhm, Co-Managing Director at Prorom.

As with most of Maistre’s previous features, which also include The Wolf and the Lion and Mia and the White Lion, the The Desert Child involves working with children and real-life animals, in this case ostriches and young Fennec foxes.

Prorom released all of this titles in Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia with a combined box-office of over $1.8M (source: box-officemojo.com).

The Desert Child is produced by StudioCanal and Catherine Camborde at Mai-Juin Productions, a Mediawan company. StudioCanal is handling international sales and will also release the film theatrically in France.
