What's left behind the scenes
- Almost all the roles were played by non-professional actors. The main character, Julia, was also played by a non-professional, Julie Ledrue. Screenwriter and director Lola Quivoron immersed herself in the world of urban rodeo for a while and soon realized that all the riders there were men. After searching for a lead actress for some time, she came across a social media account. Upon meeting in person, Quivoron realized that her own life was very similar to that of the character, so certain circumstances and details from her life were incorporated into the plot.
