Trivia

  • The documentary was shot entirely on location in Kfarbaal, capturing the raw, mountainous landscape above the ancient city of Byblos.
  • It features non-professional actors, as the film consists of real villagers sharing their personal stories and memories.
  • The project was likely part of a regional film festival circuit before its Tamil language adaptation for distribution.
