Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pépito cookies are a real French childhood staple; the brand didn't sponsor the film, making the product placement eerily authentic.
The film captures a specifically French phenomenon: the 'département' as emotional prison, where everyone knows which kid 'escaped' to Paris and who stayed behind to die slowly.
