Principal photography wrapped in Rome in December 2017. The film was produced by Fulvio and Federica Lucisano for Italian International Film, with Vision Distribution.
Reception
Boris Sollazzo described the film as a "secular and spiritual film, a funny and profound comedy. One of those that we always look for, that we demand and then, when they come, sometimes we fail to appreciate"
The film was nominated for two Nastro d'Argento awards, for best actor in a comedy film (Edoardo Leo) and best script.
