Production

The film is directed by Erik Poppe and is the first film screenplay written by Nobel Prize in Literature winner Jon Fosse. Fosse initially wrote the script in 1998, with Poppe saying in 2025 that "Only Jon and I have known about this script all these years", describing the script as a "beautiful and strong story, with a lot of passion and emotion. But it's also a story about how much distance love can endure".

In August 2024, Poppe was location scouting on the North-Western coast of Norway for the film. It is produced by Finn Gjerdrum and Poppe, with studios including ReInvent Studios, Paradox and SF Studios.

Principal photography took place in autumn 2025, with filming locations including the west coast of Norway and in the Västra Götaland region of Sweden and Grötö harbor in Lysekil.

In October 2025, Leo de la Nuez and Kristi-Helene Engberg were announced in the lead roles as the couple Asle and Gerd.
