The film was Dansereau's first narrative fiction film since Sweet Lies and Loving Oaths (Doux aveux) in 1982, after having concentrated on making documentary films for virtually all of the intervening 25 years. It premiered at the Montreal World Film Festival in August 2007, before going into commercial release in November.[3]

The film received three Prix Jutra nominations at the 10th Jutra Awards in 2008, for Best Film, Best Director (Dansereau) and Best Supporting Actress (Clément).[4]
