The film is an adaptation of The Tales of Marriage and Sex by bestselling Czech author Michal Viewegh, who also wrote the movie screenplay along with Hrebejk and actor Jiri Machacek, who plays the lead role of a 40-year-old TV weatherman.

The cast includes Slovak actress Emília Vasaryova, Pavel Landovsky, Pavel Liska, and Simona Babcakova, all well-known names locally. Adding to the films star-power, several iconic Czech celebrities, including Viewegh, and singers Karel Gott and Hana Hegerova play themselves.

The budget of Nestyda was CZK 27 million (1.1 million Euros), according to film´s producers Rudolf Biermann and Tomas Hoffman, whose companies Infilm and Infinity (www.infilm.cz) produced the movie. The gas and energy company RWE, through its Energy of Czech film programme (www.rwe.cz), co-produced the movie with 122,000 Euros.
