The film was produced by Fog Films. The director described it as "a quiet meditation on the emotional distance between staying and leaving – not about what's right or wrong, but what remains unresolved". == Release ==

The film premiered at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, in the Giornate degli Autori sidebar, where it won the Director's Award. == Reception ==

Eye for Film's critic Amber Wilkinson praised the film, describing it as a "sensitive exploration of relationships" and noting "it's easy to undervalue this kind of writing in cinema, since it offers a humanistic exploration of existential themes rather than hinging on dramatic developments". Marc van de Klashorst from International Cinephile Society referred to the film as a "character study", "a love letter to the city of Tehran and its people", and also "a keen observation on male vulnerability", that "has its own rhythm and more than a tinge of melancholy while being very light on plot". For this film, Azizi got a nomination for best director at the 18th Asia Pacific Screen Awards. == References ==
