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.[1]

Release edit

The first two episodes of the series premiered out of competition at the 80th edition of the Venice Film Festival.[2][3] The series was released in October 2023 by BH Telecom's MY TV platform.[4] It was acquired by HBO Max in November 2023.[2]

Reception edit

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."[3]
