Cast

Release

The film was initially set for release in early 2015. However, the original distributor SND Films exited the project after the January 2015 Île-de-France attacks, apparently due to the sensitivity of the subject matter. The rights to the film were then acquired by Pretty Pictures.

The release was delayed to 18 November 2015; however following the Paris attacks on 13 November 2015, Pretty Pictures withdrew the promotional campaign and delayed release again. The film was released on video-on-demand on TF1 on 29 January 2016.

The postponement made international news. It was reported in the United States SA (e.p. Los Angeles Times, Time, Daily News, The Washington Examiner), Australia (e.p. SBS, News.com.au), Great Britain (e.p.The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph), Germany (e.p.Stern, Handelsblatt, Focus, Der Tagesspiegel ), Italy (e.p. The Huffington Post and Il Foglio) and other countries all over the world.
