Production

Parts of the movie were actually filmed at the Élysée Palace, in a three-day shooting window where filming was only allowed when then President Nicolas Sarkozy was not at the palace.

Iceland served as a stand-in for the Crozet islands in the movie. The film crew spent six days there to film on location.
