Behind the scenes of the film
Alexandra Lamy (who plays Louise) and Méliane Marcaggi, director, have been friends for fifteen years. They met at the time of Un gars, Une fille through Christophe Duthuron, occasional writer of the series and companion of the latter. After sending the script to her friend, Alexandra validated it and agreed to play the lead role. She also suggested Thomas Dutronc for the role of lover of one night. Having often refused to act in films, they were surprised to get a positive response. He surely accepted because it is a short role. He even offered to compose the music. Finally, Miou-Miou who shares the poster with Alexandra told the media that she loved playing with her. Both have very different ways of concentrating. One is very calm and repeats on his side (Miou-Miou) and the other does the pitre in rehearsal. Despite this, they complemented each other well since Miou-Miou confessed to Alexandra that she enjoys when she is the clown and apologized for being "so boring". 
The main themes
The film tackles a rather difficult theme, grief, and therefore tries to play on positive emotion. This is not a drama, there is a softer approach to death. The story focuses mainly on the budding friendship of the two women. At first, irritated by the suffocating presence of her adoptive mother-in-law, Louise ends up affectioning him. The film also addresses the question of the woman's position within the family since Louise has devoted her entire life to the education of her daughter and realizes that it was not necessarily the best way to be present for her. All in all, it may not be the comedy of the year, but it's a light film. The actors give a lot of consistency to the script. There are also some misunderstandings and misunderstandings funny. The public is also at the rendezvous and appreciates this genre since the film has so far 233,000 admissions.
