Production
Alain Layrac, the screenwriter, said the casting lasted nine months with 2,000 auditions. "Due to the subject of the film, many have given up. The main actress, Maud Forget, had never done anything. And she carries the whole film on her shoulders. When she started the movie, she had never kissed a boy in her life! And she had to play prostitution scenes in a toilet. Many professional actresses had refused", he recalled.{{cite web |title=Alain Layrac : "Un film choc sur l'adolescence" |work=ladepeche.fr |url=https://www.ladepeche.fr/article/1999/10/20/208407-alain-layrac-un-film-choc-sur-l-adolescence.html |access-date=2022-01-30 }}
