Initially scheduled for March 18, 2020, the release of the film had to be postponed to August 28, 2020 due to containment. However, the promotion of "Petit Pays" had already started in March 2020 and Gaël Faye and part of the film's team contracted the virus during this tour of cinemas and press meetings. Luckily, they all recovered.
