Production

In a 2023 interview, Kadijević stated that in the early 1970s, he was forced to turn away from cinema and venture into directing for television, as he had been a prominent figure of the Yugoslav Black Wave movement and the authorities' censorship in cinema was starting to strengthen:

All of us who had been making similar films—Dušan Makavejev, Žika Pavlović, Aleksandar "Saša" Petrović, Želimir Žilnik, Kokan Rakonjac and so on—had the "Black Wave" label essentially slapped on us because we mildly and restrainedly reacted in a critical manner to the apologetics of both the [Yugoslav communist] revolutionary past as well as the supposedly heroic, renewal-focused post-World War II enthusiasm lifting the country from the ashes of…

The movie was filmed in the village of Zelinje, near the river Drina, close to the city of Zvornik. The 19th century mill that appears in the movie is still in its original location. The film was made in less than a month.

Kadijević found the strange sounds that can be heard throughout the film with the help of the workers of Television Belgrade musical department. The sounds used were the recordings of a species of birds which lives in the uninhabited areas of India.
