Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
All Saints' Day (La Toussaint) is when French families crowd cemeteries with chrysanthemums—the film captures the performative pressure of this national ritual.
Petit-Gats shot this during his studies at INSAS; the budget constraints forced the compressed runtime that ultimately serves the story's suffocating urgency.
