Around the film

At 41 min. 30 sec., one of the filming lights is reflected at the top left of the tiled facade of a bath and shower therapy establishment. Below the I in the word BAINS on the façade, a round wall light illuminates the front of the establishment.
The building giving access to Anselme and Victor's home is located at 5 passage Saint-Paul. In fact, this passage is a dead end that leads to a door in Saint-Paul Church. The film makes it appear that 6, opposite the home, is rue d'Ormesson: Anselme exits to the left of the dead-end 6, walks along rue d'Ormesson, turns left into rue de Sévigné, which leads to the main entrance of the same church.^[3]
The film was selected to represent France at the Cannes Film Festival.
