For the record, the film tells the story of a modest French family, not quite ordinary, who sees his day to day upset after winning a fortune in the lottery. As a result of this, the Tuche family decides to leave Bouzolles to go live in Monaco. If part of the story is supposed to take place in the Principality, the Monegasque authorities did not grant filming authorization to the production. Consequently, the sequences that were to take place in Monaco were shot in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, for the hotel scenes, then in Sanary-sur-Mer, as well as in the rest of the Côte d’Azur.
