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."
Although the role of Ava is 13, actress Noée Abita was 17 at the time. She was selected by Léa Mysius because her real age and young physical appearance were assets for the nude scenes, meaning she looked 13 physically but she was legally of age to perform nude. Abita initially refused to take her clothes off for the film, but the director finally convinced her to do it and she ended up shooting several scenes topless and fully nude. "I am not very modest by nature and I am almost more comfortable naked. At the beginning when I met Léa and I read the script, I told her that I would never shoot naked because it is not in my education, but as we worked together, I realized that I had no problem showing my breasts, being totally naked... Well, the scene where I bathe naked for example was shot almost at the end of the shooting, where it was still easier."
