The film is a co-production involving Croatia’s Mainframe Production, Serbia’s Yodi Movie Craftsman and Slovenia’s Studio Maj and was additionally financed by the Croatian Radiotelevision and Eurimages.[1]

The film has been described by critics as an examination of "loneliness, adultery and urban life",[2] and has been praised for its authentic depiction of contemporary Zagreb.[3]
