Nous, les Leroy

Florent Bernard wrote the movie thinking about Charlotte Gainsbourg in the role of Sandrine, but asked for a Charlotte Gainsbourg-like actress instead, thinking he could never get her for the movie. Fortunately, his producers were also producing Jane by Charlotte (2021) (her documentary about her famous mother), so they asked her and she liked the script. It's only after she accepted that Bernard had the idea of combining her with José Garcia; he then completely rewrote the character for him. He eventually read the script one Wednesday morning and said yes later the same day.

During the breakfast scene early in the movie, Sandrine's children are looking down at their cereal bowl in front of them in one shot, then suddenly at their mother, located on the side, in the next shot.
