Right from a very early start of the project, when Carla Simon began writing the script, she imagined the structure as a kind of collage from other films.

'It was a way of portraying the feeling and tone of the film departing from some given excerpts. Naturally, as it goes on, it transforms and takes its own shape.'

The editing includes excerpts from El espíritu de la colmena (Víctor Erice, 1973), Cría cuervos (Carlos Saura, 1976), El sur (Víctor Erice, 1983), Corpo Celeste (Alice Rohrwacher, 2011), Wrony (Dorota Kedzierzawska, 1994), Small deaths (Lynne Ramsay, 1996), Le meraviglie (Alice Rohrwacher, 2014), La ciénaga (Lucrecia Martel, 2001), Ponette (Jacques Doillon, 1996) and La pivellina (Tizza Covi and Rainer Frimmel, 2009).
