In the trailer for Gad Elmaleh’s film, his sister Judith does not hesitate to confront him saying to him:Why don’t you give us a midlife crisis like all those guys? You buy yourself a very low car, you fuck yourself with a very tall little chick and you stop pissing us off“. A speech that probably inspired Léa Salamé who let go: “You don’t smoke anymore, you don’t drink anymore, you do retreats in monasteries, what’s the next step, sexual abstinence, it’s over, you don’t fuck anymore?“.
