Trivia

The filming with babies being very restrictive because subjected to a heavy control, the team proceeded to a big casting in order to find the lucky ones elected. Luckily, they proved extremely easy on the set, especially the one with which Elodie Bouchez was filming. She says that he spoke to her a lot, to the point of encroaching on her text during the catch.

User Reviews

Imposing moral values...

This movie manipulates the viewer in the name of some preconceived moral values concerning child caring and parenthood.

Montage technique used all along the film seems to be an outdated technique which does not quite fit to the idea of the movie
