The film also stars Myriam Leblanc and Robin Aubert as Juliette's parents; Christophe Levac as her older brother Pierre-Luc; Léanne Désilets as her friend Léanne; Antoine DesRochers as her brother's best friend Liam, on whom Juliette has a romantic crush; Gabriel Beaudet as Arnaud, a classmate with Asperger syndrome whom Juliette defends from similar bullying; and Karl Farah and Stéphane Crête as teachers at her school.[3]
