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.
