Short description
Paris, in the early 1990s: a group of young activists is desperately tied to finding the cure against an unknown lethal disease. They target the pharmaceutical labs that are retaining potential cures, and multiply direct actions, with the hope of saving their lives as well as the ones of future generations.
What's left behind the scenes
- The French government intended to use the film as an educational tool, but Roben Campillo refused, stating that he did not want to lecture the audience.
- Produced by Les Films de Pierre. The company's name refers to Pierre Berge (1930-2017). He was an industrialist and patron of the arts, one of the founders of the Yves Saint Laurent fashion house and a partner of fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent (1936-2008).
- A total of 9 months were spent on casting.
- Gay actors were specifically chosen for the roles of gay characters.
- When Ruben Östlund's drama "The Square" won the Palme d'Or at the 2017 Cannes International Film Festival, some members of the jury, including Pedro Almodóvar, voted for this film.
- Robin Campillo wanted Jimmy Somerville, the lead singer of Bronski Beat (1983-1997), to star in the film, but he refused.
