Short description
Sacha is a real seducer, a man with no ties or emotional or professional. Charlotte is a modern and independent woman, but barely has time to care for their three children. While Sacha and Charlotte are, at first glance, two incompatible beings, when they meet soon discover that they are quite complementary and need each other.
What's left behind the scenes
- Director James Yut, who had previously made four feature-length narrative films, had never worked with child actors before. According to him, it was precisely this lack of preparedness that had kept him from starting work on the project for some time.
- Throughout the film, there are several references to the animated movie 'The Aristocats' (1970). Co-screenwriter and director James Yut believes that some may see this film as a remake of the classic Disney animation.
- For the role of the hero Gad Elmaleh's Jewish grandmother, director James Yut cast his own 94-year-old cousin. His initial search for an elderly actress with a suitable accent proved unsuccessful.
