A really truthful episode-drama by older directors like Lautner and many young talents, against cliches about cigarets, alcohol, cannabis... and the stars: the brave Claude Jade as a secretful woman with alcoholic problems, the nice Chiara Mastroianni as a young mother between son and dealer and Yannick Soulier in prison, "clean since 24 days".

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
