Gomis told DW the film includes a tribute to his late father. Part of the production was filmed in the village where his father was born, in the Cacheu region of Guinea-Bissau. "The grave you see in the film, the one the two characters speak to and touch that is my father's grave. The photograph of that man in the film that is my father," he said.

The film starts with a vibrant scene depicting Aya's inner conflict at her wedding, showcasing the complexities of love and personal freedom in a distracting narrative.
