Production

In late 2020, director Ido Weisman travelled through southern Israel while searching for a subject for a new documentary. During his visit to Eilat, he encountered a makeshift trailer park known as Sun Bay.

Weisman became interested in the residents' experiences of loneliness and their decision to live outside conventional social structures. These themes became central to the film.

The film was directed and photographed by Weisman, edited by Ayala Bengad, and produced by Hadar Hasina Masasa. Its screenplay was written by Weisman and Bengad, with original music composed by Ophir Leibovitch.
