 * Work with Juliette Binoche

In an interview with The Guardian, Binoche shared, '"My true inspiration was actually a friend of mine, Vernice Klier. She had lost her husband and child. I had known her for five years before I made the film. So we spoke about her grief a lot because I met her the year after it happened, so I was a witness to how she rebuilt herself. We shared a lot about her life and what was going on. So this film, to me, is a thank-you to her. It just so happened that I was offered this film, but it was completely related to her and her son"''.
