Short description

Mady, a student, works as a locksmith by night. He helps Claire get into her apartment and soon realizes that she lied to him about her identity and robbed something that belonged to a dangerous man, Yannick. Mady gets embroiled in a manhunt and will have one night to prove his innocence.

What's left behind the scenes

Director and screenwriter Mikhil Blanchard wanted the film's action to take place at night. Among other things, he was very interested in the work of a locksmith (a person who is called in the middle of the night to open a lock, paid in cash, and who sees things not intended for his eyes), and Blanchard decided to make a locksmith the main character of his film.
When Mikhil Blanchard was working on the script (this was at the end of the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic), he lived in Brussels near the Palace of Justice, in front of which activists of the BLM movement constantly held protests. The anger of the crowd was quite palpable, and Blanchard tried to convey this heated atmosphere in the script.
