Bruno Solo and Yvan le Bolloc'h explain: "After all these years and to end the series in style, to give him a first-class funeral, we wanted to bring to life everything we talk about on TV without ever show: Hervé's narrow life, Jean-Claude's car, his family, Jean-Guy's daily life, etc... The film was born from this desire to take the characters out of their narrow frame and bring them to life ."
