Production
Nathalie Nell said that after the gang rape scene she felt the same feeling as her character. Inexplicably, she felt ashamed "of the film crew, of future viewers". For several days, she struggled against the horror she inspired in herself, against the desire to hide, to no longer exist.[7]
