Production

Commenting about the project, Cobos stated that it is "all about committing to revitalising el cine quinqui, delving deeper into their very essence, albeit while striving to be different",[2] while also concerning about a country in transition.[3] He however also explained that in the end, the film had more of the "American cinema of the 1970s, or the French polar".[1] The original screenplay was written by Cobos alongside Fernando Navarro.[4] The film is a Vaca Films production alongside Grupo Tranquilo and Playtime, and it had the participation of Movistar Plus+, RTVE, and Canal Sur and the backing from ICAA, Junta de Andalucía, and Creative Europe MEDIA.[5] Sergi Vilanova Claudín worked as cinematographer.[5]

Shooting locations included Alcalá de Guadaíra.[3]
