-In [[en:dictionary:2018|September 2018]], Martin Villeneuve and Sylvain Despretz collaborated with François Schuiten on the storyboard at Schuiten's summer residence in Southern France.

However, the unforeseen double blows of the Covid-19 pandemic and Claude Léger's tragic passing abruptly derailed these plans, ultimately leading to the project's abandonment. Consequently, Martin Villeneuve instead shifted his focus on his second feature film, //**The 12 Tasks of Imelda**//, which he completed in [[en:dictionary:2022|2022]], and on his animated series //**Red Ketchup**//, released in [[en:dictionary:2023|2023]].
