Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
OM (Olympique de Marseille) is France's most working-class club; using it as a vehicle for social commentary is pitch-perfect regional storytelling.
Director Piquet-Gauthier previously made documentaries about Marseille youth; this explains the unglamorous, lived-in texture of the children's home.
