The plot with no dialogues is narrated by the main characters in the form of an introspection. The theme of Holocaust is shown through an unconventional cinematic expression, with an emphasis on artistic style, the musical component and sound effects.

It was produced by Lívia Filusová through Furia Film in cooperation with i/o post, Czech Television, Rozhlas a televízia Slovenska, Filmpark Production and Slovak Film Institute. Slovak Audiovizual Fund and the State Cinematography Fund, Czech Republic were supporting.
