"J'ai choisi cette nouvelle d'une écrivaine native du Valais, une région [de Suisse] que je connais depuis mon enfance, parce que ça m'intéressait de faire un film dans lequel les décors seraient partie prenante de l'histoire. Le rapport entre l'homme et la nature m'intéressait beaucoup."
-- Léa Pool
