Almost all the actors in the movie are non professional. Director Boris Lojkine and casting director Aline Dalbis spent a lot of time with the Guinean community in Paris, talking to a lot of delivery workers, and then finally heard of Abou Sangare through an association in Amiens. He had arrived in France seven years earlier, as a minor. He had been refused French papers three times and had the obligation to leave French soil. After the movie came out, the prefect of the Somme département requested in August 2024 that his situation be reassessed, and he was finally awarded a one-year residence permit in January 2025.
Whenever Souleymane is on a bike, the camera man and the boom operator are following on bikes as well, the only way to follow him through traffic.
There is no music accompanying the action of the movie. This was a conscious choice, to exploit the noises of the city: the car honks, the RER trains, the sirens, the engines revving... This meant that no moment of levity could be shown, no quiet and peaceful shot could be left in the edit, as the audience is glued to what happens to Souleymane the whole time.
Abou Sangare had never delivered food on a bike before the movie. He made deliveries for two weeks before they began shooting to make it real.
The movie had its world premiere at the Un Certain Regard section of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Jury Prize, the Performance Prize (for main actor Abou Sangare) and the FIPRESCI Prize for the Un Certain Regard section.
