 The idea for the movie was concocted by director Dejan Zecevic and  writer/producer Gordan Mihic during the shoot of their  collaboration in Kupi mi Eliota (1998). Zecevic was attached to  direct at first but then he turned down the project. Mladen  Maticevics attachment followed but he resigned after  writer/producer Mihic declined to change the script and shape it  like Corneaus work. Djordje Milosavljevic was the third director  to get attached and eventually he made the picture.
