Alexandra Lamy, a committed director

It took this project for her to decide to get involved. “I read the comic strip (by Quentin Zuttion), I obviously found it great. I said to myself that for a first film, it was perfect.

Affected is broadcast on TF1 on September 22 at 9:10 p.m., with Mélanie Doutey, Chloé Jouannet and Claudia Tagbo.
