Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Millereau shot the 1950s sequences on expired 16mm film stock she found in a Lyon warehouse, giving those scenes an uncanny, already-fading quality that no digital filter could replicate.
The film sparked actual debates in French parliament about 'droit à la déconnexion'—the right to disconnect from work tech—showing how satire becomes policy faster than you'd think.
