The story is based on her experience growing up with primarily male friends.[1] Asma Chiboub of Atlas Vision Productions (Tunisia), who previously worked with Guellaty on Black Mamba, produced the film alongside Karim Aitouna of Haut les Mains Productions (France). Chadi Abo co-produced the movie.[2] ReleaseIn December 2024, the Egyptian company MAD Distribution acquired the Middle East and North Africa distribution rights for the movie.[2] The film made its debut at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival on January 26 as part of the World Cinema Dramatic Competition.[3] References
