"I wanted to capture one day in the life of the young family. The day which reminds of a Tetris game, where one wrong move causes a total collapse," says director Katarina Morano, who wrote the script together with Žiga Divjak.
The film stars Maruša Majer, joined by Iztok Drabik Jug, Kaja Petrovič, Jerko Marčić, Jana Zupančič, Janez Škof, Marjuta Slamič, Gregor Zorc, and Nataša Tič Ralijan.

The film is supported by the Slovenian Film Centre and the Hellenic Film & Audiovisual Center, in association with FS Viba Film, while its development was supported by Creative Europe – MEDIA.
"The budget is estimated at approximately 1 m EUR," producers Katja Lenarčič and Danijel Hočevar told FNE.
