As one of them said:
"Everyone sees Mehdi at his door."
Prolix, Marcel Audiard likes to play with words, but does not abuse them.
Above all, he knows how to punctuate his plot, the many twists of which can be conducive to misguidance.

Special attention for Puce, an anorexic teenager familiar with hospital stays and a very contemporary figure in a society in need of representation.
