The film's original, French title is a play on words, "Ce Qui Nous Lie" meaning "That Which Binds Us", with the word "Lie" also meaning lees, the sediment of wine during fermentation and aging. Additionally, the title references director Cédric Klapisch's successful early short film, Ce qui me meut (1989).
Part of the 21° Edition of the French Film Tour of Mexican chain of movie theaters, Cinepolis.
