Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Corsica's unique blend of French and Italian identity politics mirrors Andrea's own liminal existence. The island's history of resistance against outside rule becomes a weird metaphor for her personal rebellion.
Director Félicia Viti cast several non-professional actors from her actual Corsican village, including some who didn't know they were playing slightly fictionalized versions of themselves until filming wrapped.
