Trivia
Laure Calamy has several nude scenes in this movie. "I feel very quickly at ease. Nudity tells something primitive, it transcends the times, it is universal," she says. In a dreamy scene, she appears with her legs spread on a counter. "I suggested to Léa Mysius that we see a little more than the pubic hair, that the vulva appears, in a slightly primitive state. She was so happy, she framed the sex in the center of the shot! I think it's great, it's almost political."

Goofs
Ava gets pretty bad vision in dark places early in the film, to the point where she can't see a hand waved a few centimeters in front of her face standing beside a fire at night. Later she gets into an abandoned building with almost no light coming in and she sees even small objects perfectly.

Blindness

What a poignant but simple tale of a thirteen years old girl who lives with her baby sister and single mother and who discovers one day that she will slowly get blind in a few months. Then she becomes awry, especially as a teen. She steals a dog from a vagrant, a gypsy in his twenties, a wayward young gypsy searched by the police. With him, the young girl will try to get pleasure in life before getting prisoner of the forever darkness. You can think some minutes about a sort of BONNIE AND CLYDE scheme. A desperate but no totally hopeless story however.
