Director Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet had already shot a short with actress Anaïs Demoustier, called Pauline asservie (2018), and wrote this movie with her in mind.
The movie had its premiere at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, in the Special screenings category. It was in competition for the Queer Palm, and also eligible for the Caméra d'Or as a feature directorial debut, but won neither.
