Director Antony Cordier said that before filming he agreed with Marina Foïs and Nicolas Duvauchelle that in their love scenes, they would go all the way. "There are love scenes in cinema where you can see that the actors don't really want to, where finally you only film half of what should be filmed, you don't go all the way and it becomes very very embarrassing. If the actors go to the end, it is much less embarrassing for the spectator and we accept it much more in fact," Cordier said. But Duvauchelle seems to suggest the scene was simulated. "Marina and I had a good laugh. The scenes were very scripted: 'You give a thrust, then you give a slap...' It's not the kind of thing we rehearse. As soon as we heard 'Cut!', we made a joke," he said.
