1MFF Jury Comment about the film:
"A very impressive display of quarantine life. Behind the simplicity of the story, there is a very honest comment about the reality we live in"

According to the Loay 'cielo' Tattan, the film was inspired of his own wish to learn freestyle football by using the Kaizen methodology. The joy of doing it finally was genuine. He wasn't planning or drafting the story, he didn't storyboard, everything in the film was spontaneous and unplanned, with a lot of improvisation from Roaa Tattan, he even was trying to take away the camera from her, but after seeing the footage, he liked it and decided to make it to the final cut.
The film was shot fully with a smartphone.
The movie was made fully in one day, as a pandemic project during the COVID-19 (2020) era. The challenge was not only in the period, but the scarce state of crew and actors and resources generally (such as props, gear, lighting, costumes, etc...). Hence, the movie was filmed inside the house of the director and the main actor Loay 'cielo' Tattan because of the lock-down, and who plays the role of the sister is actually his sister Roaa Tattan who was filming him and pushing him in his quest of mastering a football trick.
