Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pierre Niney was 24 playing 20, while Virginie Efira was 36 playing 38—the actual age gap is smaller than the film suggests.
The film sparked debate in France about whether it romanticizes workplace power imbalances or satirizes them; director David Moreau insisted it was the latter.
