Production

The series had been originally conceived by Jasmila Žbanić as a feature film, but the project was rejected by the Bosnian Film Fund; during the COVID-19 pandemic Žbanić adapted the script into a six-episode television series, with four episodes entirely consisting of new material.

Release

The first two episodes of the series premiered out of competition at the 80th edition of the Venice Film Festival. The series was released in October 2023 by BH Telecom's MY TV platform. It was acquired by HBO Max in November 2023.

Reception

The series was described as "an in-depth exploration of familial bonds and secrets", with "a strong narrative and grounded characters", and which "does a great job in its examination of the tragedies that emerge from society’s deep-rooted inequalities."
