Production

The film project was announced at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2010, casting was performed in June 2010, and pre-production began in July 2010. Filming began on 23 August 2010, at locations in Macugnaga, a mountain village in the very northern part of the Piedmont region in Italy. Certain scenes shot on the slopes of Monte Rosa, were filmed at high altitude and during -30 degree snowstorms.

The film premiered at the 68th Venice International Film Festival in September, following in October at the Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival, the Haifa International Film Festival, the Marrakech International Film Festival, and the London Film Festival, before its theatrical release 28 October 2011 in Italy.

Due to its content, there had been a restriction placed on the film on 26 October, banning it from being seen by children under 14. After an appeal by Cattleya, the restriction was lifted on the 27th.
