Development

In an interview with CivilNet, director Pouria Heidary Oureh stated that after being initially provided support by Armenian film authorities, the support was withdrawn following the completion of the film:

[T]he main problem is, like, we made this film with National Cinema Center of Armenia, and this what you do when you go to other country to make movie. You usually go to official organization to make a film, and that's what we did, and this is actually the right thing to do in any other country you go. So, we went there, we gave them our script, and they read it, they said they really liked it, and we started making the movie.
