The techniques used in the film include rotoscoping, collage,[6] and found footage.[7] Barić took care of many parts of the films's creation himself, including direction, scripting, animation, composition, soundtrack, and editing. The film had a budget of €20,000.[8]
The film was initially shown in ten Croatian arthouse cinemas and will be shown at the Zagreb Museum of Contemporary Art in 2020. In order to qualify for the Academy Awards, it was also shown at Laemmle in early 2021. The film's general release was Video on Demand on Vimeo.[8]
In the Los Angeles Times, Carlos Agulilar described the film as "A surrealist noir film resembling the retro futurism of Alphaville,"[9] and in Variety, reviewer Michael Nordine described the film as "vibrant and alive in a way that few films falling under the wide umbrella of animation even attempt to be."[6] Peter Bradshaw, in a four-star review for The Guardian, referred to it as a "distinctly disturbing and even absorbing" reverie, stating that there is "something impressive in the film’s indifference to narrative meaning or ordinary legibility."[10] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a score of 80% based on five reviews.[11]
