Written by the very same Camille Chamoux and Ilan Keppler, the story looks at the case of a couple who are in love but can no longer stand each other. In an interview published in Les Fiches du Cinéma in June of last year, the director spoke of "a film in the spirit of Maris and Woody Allen’s women", explaining that "it’s the story of a couple who are trying to hang on. They really love one another but they make for quite an explosive couple, so they argue a lot, but they don’t want to separate. Because they think it’s better to try to come through it, to go beyond themselves and do what it takes to make it work, rather than just giving up."

The Peace and Love Process is produced by David Gauquié and Julien Deris on behalf of Cinéfrance Studios, and is co-produced by France 2 Cinéma. Pre-purchased by Canal+ and Ciné+, the film will be sold worldwide and distributed in France by Le Pacte.
