It stars Guslagie Malanda, Nadia Moussa, Catherine Mouchet, Pascal Greggory and Pierre Andrau.

[1][2] Victoria, a black girl from a modest background, has never forgotten the night she spent at the house of a bourgeois family in Paris, at the home of Thomas, a school-friend who had once brought her back with him.

Writer and director Jean-Paul Civeyrac changed the setting of Lessing's story from London to Paris.

[3][4] Guslagie Malanda had no film experience before she was cast in the title role; she went to an audition after a friend working on the project told her that she "might be a good fit".
