Trivia	Gilles Legrand and the producer Frédéric Brillion went to see a play by Leonore Confino, "The Belgian Fish", because they appreciate the writing of this author. The two men then wanted to propose to him to write a scenario on the social or humanitarian engagement, in which often evolve people full of good will, but with little or no training and often few means.
