Following India Song, Duras and her cinematographer, Bruno Nuytten, once again filmed in the Palais Rothschild, this time experimenting with lighting. The film is the constant search for backlighting. "[Duras] really wanted to enter Anne-Marie Stretter's tomb and I physically had the feeling that we actually opened a grave. She was very afraid. She led the way with the beam of her flashlight and described to me the ruins of India Song and Anne-Marie Stretter's ashes."
