The film is written and directed by Vahid Jalilvand, and produced by his brother Ali Jalilvand, starring Navid Mohammadzadeh and Amir Aghaei, who have worked together with Jalilvand in his previous film No Date, No Signature.[1]
The film is said to have taken at least two years to make, and filming was halted after Mohammadzadeh, the lead actor, contracted COVID-19.[2]
