Despite being a French TV film and having been selected at a prestigious television festival, was only broadcast in France nearly two years after premiering in Switzerland.
While the film's opening states that it is "loosely inspired by true events", it is not, according to producer Hélène Delale, a specific event, but rather several similar events that occurred and inspired the film's plot.
The film received 75,000 Euros in financing from the French Grand Est region (where it was filmed).
