This film is a "political fantasy", on "the way in which the power escapes you", specified the producer Philippe Carcassonne.
If several hundred films are waiting on the shelves of distributors and should scramble when the cinemas reopen, this one has "an obligation of rapid release for political reasons", to prevent the electoral campaign from exceeding too quickly the fiction, he smiles.
