The main filming took place on the Black Sea coast in Istanbul, a small part of the film was shot in a Kazakh village.

"This gave our film a special atmosphere. Working in another country was complicated by the need to coordinate the actions of two teams - Turkish and Kazakh. This is a language barrier and a different approach to work. Filming took a month, and post-production took 3 months," said co-director Daria Dunich.

The film aroused interest among viewers and filmmakers. The producer of the film has already received offers of joint work from production companies in other countries.
