Cast

Production

Principal photography began on 5 May 2025 in Saône-et-Loire. A significant portion of the film was shot in Autun, especially at the cemetery on Rue de la Maladière in Autun, which was transformed with fake tombstones. Other locations in Autun were also used, including the Temple of Janus, the bus station, and the city hall. Outside of Autun, the Café du Nord in Arnay-le-Duc and a garage in Chagny were scheduled to be used.[3][4] Filming in Autun continued until 20 June.[5] Scenes were also shot in Rozerotte, in the Vosges department, for two weeks from mid-June until early July.[6][5] Filming continued at the end of July in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, just south of Paris. After a break, filming was scheduled to resume from 8 to 21 September in Cassis or Marseille, in the south of France.[5] Filming was scheduled to last for a total of 13 weeks.[7]

Release

The film is scheduled to be released in France by StudioCanal on 9 December 2026.[8]
