Le Devoir described the film as "not a documentary, not a fiction, not a direct cinema, but a little bit of all three forms."[3]

The film was shot in October 2018 in a variety of communities in Quebec, including Bécancour and several small towns in the Montérégie region.[2]

The film premiered at the 2019 Locarno Film Festival.[4] It was later screened at the 2019 Montreal International Documentary Festival, where it was awarded the Special Jury Prize by the Canadian national feature jury.[5]
