Panah Panahi's directorial film debut.
The director is the older son of Iranian director Jafar Panahi.
Rayan Sarlak (little brother) was 7 years of age at the time of filming, hence his maturity as an actor playing a younger child superbly.
When Panah Panahi proposed the film, he was forced to produce a fake script in order for the film to be approved by the committees of Issuance of Film Production Permit and Issuance of Film Screening Permit, underneath the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance.
