How did you come up with this story?

 

Samuel Le Bihan: My daughter has autism, and after writing a book about a mother raising an autistic child (Un bonheur que je ne souhaite à personne, 2018), I wanted to explore the question from a father’s point of view. I initially focused on what this difference inspires in other people; how it transforms, troubles, and transcends an entourage. Having a child with autism isn’t easy! It requires more energy and commitment, and all parents will have a different experience.

What inspired this series?

It all happened as if in a movie! I was in Lille finishing another project called Maman a tort when my partner suggested we visit the house where Charles de Gaulle was born. Two days later, a producer phoned me to ask if I wanted to direct a series about the General’s life in the style of The Crown. I still can’t believe it was just a coincidence!
