This is Aya Razzaz's first professional production.
The film had no script or storyboards and was discovered in post-production.
The letters shown on screen are not props, they are the real letters written by a political prisoner to his loving wife. There were hundreds of letters, but the production team sifted through all of them and then recorded the most moving and pivotal ones for use in post-production.
The Prison of Al-Jafr used to be the home of many human rights violations that the Hashemite Kingdome looked down upon. Subsequently the prison became a vocational training center for local Jordanians, but the location is too deep into the desert that it did not lend itself well to being an education centers, so then, even the vocational training center closed down, but its husk remains.
Many military officials gave conflicting information to the production team regarding what was actually the prison and what wasn't. Eventually Rashad Anabtawi spoke to the representative of the ministry of defense and the local chief of police to make sure the film would go on without impedance.
