The old-school actors Kad Merad and Valerie Le Messier played Nicolas’s model parents. The boiled soup was played by the comedian François Gesavier de Maison, while Sandrine Tibelin played Incarnate his lovely female teacher.
When creating the script for the role of mother, in order to avoid the role becoming a boring housewife, the director used Valerie Le Messier as the prototype for reference. Therefore, even though she had just finished filming "Miss So Dark" when the crew sent an invitation to Valerie, and did not plan to shoot a new film, the director managed to persuade her.
As for Kad Merad, his performance in "I'm Fine, Don't Worry" has impressed the director quite deeply. The hot-selling "Welcome to the North" makes people believe that the maturity of an actor has grown in him. And this is exactly what Nikolai's father needed. This is a middle-class white-collar worker who must go to work every day. He is a little afraid of the boss and dreams of being promoted. Not strong, a bit ambitious, but his wife always prevails. At the same time, he must be a little imaginative and genuinely gentle. The director thinks that Cade is too suitable for this role, and he still retains a lot of innocence in his body.
The lovely teacher is considered the second mother of the children. She must be very gentle and kind. She is often caught off guard by the children she likes. Sandrine Tibelan with big blue eyes possesses such tenderness. She has the ability to convey the most subtle emotions through a look or a movement.
