Production
The screenwriter Di Moretti interviewed ten Lebanese families as a source of research for the film. With three of them he did more in-depth interviews, in order to learn more about the Lebanese culture.[4]
According to Moretti, there were two versions of the screenplay: one to be entirely filmed in Brazil and another with scenes to be shot in Lebanese territory. The second version was used in the film.[4]
