Trivia

Boisset was blacklisted from French state television for his political films; this was his theatrical comeback after years in exile.

Cultural

The 'tribe' refers to France's medical elite—a real phenomenon where corrupt doctors protected each other through silence. The film barely fictionalized actual scandals.
