The film was entitled to receive financial support for its completion and distribution by being chosen to ‘CineLink Work in Progress’ as part of Sarajevo Film Festival. A total of 12 films, 10 fiction films and 2 documentaries, has been chosen to CineLink Work in Progress from Southeast Europe, Middle East, and North Africa.
