Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film deliberately never uses the word 'gay'—the homophobia is structural, not spoken, mirroring how workplace harassment often operates invisibly.
Laroche and Barbé spent weeks in an actual bottle factory; the workers' real indifference to the filming became the template for the bystander characters' chilling passivity.
