Wich ends when Rachel gets pregnant and Philippe runs away, refusing to marry someone below his class. Now, alone and broken, Rachel must raise her daughter, Chantal, all by herself. But even in the hardest of times, Rachel will be willing to fight for her child, as a legal battle follows, lasting more than 10 years, in which the mother will fight for the right of her daughter to use her father's surname, just so that she can live with the facilities of the higher class.

Trivia

Pure emotion

Director Catherine Corsini took a look at Christine Angot's novel on the advice of her producer Elisabeth Perez. If the work touched her, she feared that it was unadaptable.

Age problems

The director feared that Niels Schneider was too young to be Philippe (10 years apart from Virginie Efira). But the Franco-Canadian actor wanted to do some tests.

Very special help

The book's author, Christine Angot, was able to consult the script and comment on it with the screenwriters, Catherine Corsini and Laurette Polmanss.
