The movie was shot for the Prague 48 Hour Film Project 2013. The character of Jan Oracular, the futurist, the prop "potato" and the line "Wake up the Phoenix inside you" were required to place in the story.
Two bunches of red roses were used when filming: the first was destroyed when shooting the boyfriend scene, the other was used for the flashback sequence and opening of the story.
The black shoes the main character Jan Oracular is wearing are actually director's shoes.
