The Cost of Heaven (French: Gagne ton ciel) is a Canadian thriller drama film, directed by Mathieu Denis and released in 2025. The film stars Samir Guesmi as Nacer Belkacem, a man who has seemingly built an enviable career and family life, but who has in fact accumulated significant debt from overspending and bad investments, and who thus hatches a desperate plan to stave off financial disaster.
The cast also includes Crixus Lapointe, Meriem Medjkane, Brett Donahue, Marie-Josée Bélanger and Samir Firouz in supporting roles.
The film received production funding from Quebec's Société de développement des entreprises culturelles in 2023, and was shot in Montreal in fall 2024.
The film premiered in the Centrepiece program at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival. It is also slated to screen in the Borsos Competition program at the 2025 Whistler Film Festival.
