- A woman as a director
The cinema is a sexist environment in which women struggle to find a place. There are few female directors. Emmanuelle Bercot is one of them. Director of the film "La Tête haute", she received the César of the best original screenplay in 2012 for Polisse de Maïwenn.
- A main actor that nothing predestined in the cinema
Rod Paradot, aka Malony in "La Tête haut" was spotted in a professional lycée in Stains (Seine Saint-Denis) where he was preparing a CAP carpentry. A native of Stains, there was nothing to predestine the 18-year-old to a film career.
- Catherine Deneuve headlining
One of the greatest French actresses is in the casting, a guarantee of success for the film "The High Head" in which Catherine Deneuve interprets the role of the judge.
