Director Besançon retraces the life of the Duval family in the film. He chooses to cut out a special five days from his twelve years of family life and title it to start the narrative. Why adopt such a narrative structure, the director explained: “With each family member as the starting point, choose the day that is most important to them. This idea was determined when the script was written. Although living under the same roof, every Individuals still have uniqueness that is different from their family members. Such a five-pointed star structure can better reflect this difference. Each of the five days is associated with a family member, and the camera follows from early morning to late night. At the same time, Although the perspective has changed, the lives of other characters have not been ignored. Compared to a choir-like film with a lead singer and a chorus, it is a film with five protagonists. In a family, this person How it affects others. Another advantage of this is that it allows most of the time to be vented, hoping to leave room for the audience to imagine what happened in these omitted times."
Of course, all five protagonists are equally emphasized. In terms of shooting techniques, each section of the film still has its own uniqueness. Besançon and his main photographer, Anthony Monod, reached an agreement: each day in the film must have its own logical structure, so as to highlight the personality traits of the characters that follow them and their families. Dao Man revealed: “For example, the day when the eldest son Albert was about to move out of the house, he took a short-distance filming to highlight the sense of distance and increase the intimacy between family members, and then portray the character’s struggle for independence; Flora’s That day, the last scene of the little daughter running wild in the street was shot by a hand-cranked camera; while shooting the little son Rafa Aiyar, a stabilizer was used to shoot his image. For mother Marie Jeanne, for I put the background in the blur and used a long-distance shooting; Robert wanted a calm image, a kind of light that can outline the lines, so he moved his brains on the light."
