In developing the script, Peter Bebjak and screenwriters Jiří Havelka and Robert Mankovecký worked with Duchoň's family and his closest collaborator Luboš Zeman to portray the most realistic story of his life and to show less publicly known facts.

„The 26 days of shooting are planned for the summer of 2024, while the release in cinemas is planned for 31 July 2025,“ Tatiana Tóthová from D.N.A. Production told FNE.

The film is scheduled to premiere in the year that marks 40 years since Duchoň´s tragic death and when he would have celebrated his 75th birthday.

Rasťo Šesták is the producer of the film. The estimated budget of 2 m EUR was supported by the VOD platform VOYO and Continental Film, which will also release the film in domestic cinemas.
