Eureka Entertainment have announced that they have acquired the rights to Come As You Are (Hasta La Vista), Geoffrey Enthoven’s film about love, unconditional friendship and lust, based on the experiences of Asta Philpot – an ardent campaigner for disabled people.
Three guys in their twenties love wine and women but they are still virgins. Under the guise of a wine tour they embark on a journey to Spain hoping to have their first sexual experience. Joseph is blind, Lars is confined to a wheelchair and Philip is paralysed from the neck down, but they’re not going to let anything stand in their way…
Come As You Are is a charming, funny and commercial feel good foreign language film which will appeal to fans of the award winning comedy dramas The Intouchables, Rust and Bone & The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Come As You Are won the Audience Awards at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2012, the European Film Awards 2012 and the Montreal World Film Festival 2012 as well as the Grand Prix des Amerique and a special jury mention at the Montreal World Film Festival 2012.
Ian Sadler, Sales Director for Eureka Entertainment commented “In 2012 the people of London, the country and the world marvelled at the achievements of the Paralympians. Come as You Are is an extremely moving and inspiring film and we hope that with its release we can help to continue to break down barriers and continue to raise awareness of the challenges, rights and needs of disabled people in the UK.”
Come As You Are (Hasta La Vista) will be released theatrically in key cities around the UK and Eire on 7 June 2013 and will celebrate its Charity Premiere on 5 June in central London.
