Some sources have attributed British actor Hugh Grant with a role in the film as Frédéric Chopin; however, this may be an erroneous conflation with a different film, as Aubry's film features neither spoken dialogue nor any depiction of Chopin, and does not list Grant in its credits.
The film premiered at the 1988 Montreal World Film Festival.[1]
It received a Genie Award nomination for Best Animated Short at the 10th Genie Awards in 1989.[3]
