Produced following the success of Magellan et Mongeville (2016), a very rare crossover in French television, the film functions as both episode 29 of Magellan (2009) and episode 17 of Mongeville (2013).
While Mongeville (2013) regular Gaëlle Bona does not appear in the film, her character is mentioned several times and her absence is explained as her being away on holiday.
