Based in part on Lesage's own childhood, the film stars Édouard Tremblay-Grenier as Félix, a ten-year-old boy living with his family in a quiet suburb of Montreal who is prone to excessive worry.[3] As a series of child abductions begins to grip the town, however, his vague and needless fears begin to give way to something much more real.[4]
The film's cast also includes Laurent Lucas, Pascale Bussières, Victoria Diamond, Vassili Schneider, Sarah Mottet, Théodore Pellerin, Bénédicte Décary and Pier-Luc Funk.[3]
The film was shot in August/September 2014 in Montreal and vicinity.[1]
The film premiered in September 2015 at the San Sebastian Film Festival.[4] It was released in the province of Quebec (on 8 screens) on 30 October 2015.[1] In December, the film was announced as part of the Toronto International Film Festival's annual Canada's Top Ten screening series of the ten best Canadian films of the year.[5]
The film was nominated for the 2016 Ingmar Bergman International Debut Award at the Gothenburg Film Festival.[6]
Tremblay-Grenier reprised his role as Félix as a minor character in Lesage's 2018 film Genesis (Genèse).[7]
