Production

The film was shot in Super 16 and in 35 mm format.

Rohrwacher said that the film is "about desires, pure and selfish, about freedom and devotion, about the anarchy that is capable of flowering in the minds of each one of them within the confines of the strict boarding school". She added that "although the obedient girls can't move, their pupils can dance the unrestrained dance of freedom."
