Trivia

The director met for more than a year with homeless women in various reception centers throughout France, discovering at the same time the profession of social workers, mainly women. He demanded from his actresses the same investment: Audrey Lamy went to a reception center in Grenoble where she helped volunteers to go shopping and cooking. Sarah Suco, meanwhile, lost a lot of weight and made the sleeve several times "to feel the shame and violence of glances" says Louis-Julien Petit.

User Reviews

Brilliant drama about female left-outs

This is a brilliant drama, occasionally very funny, about a group of left-out and "loosers" women in nowadays France. The topic is faced in a very true way, especially the characters are very true, probably many have been taken from the street. These women frequent a center where little by little, also through very sad situations, they retrieve their dignity. Brilliant ending.
