What's left behind the scenes
- All filming was done on location and almost always with natural light.
- All three actresses playing the wives with whom Sibel speaks auditioned for the role of the main character.
- During filming, doctors told Birol Ünel that he needed to stop drinking, otherwise a fatal outcome was inevitable. The actor quit drinking and lost a lot of weight, which is noticeable in the second part of the film. At one point, he became so ill during the work on a scene that filming had to be stopped.
- Most of the actors filmed in their own clothes. This was done to make them feel less constrained, but mainly due to budgetary limitations.
- In the scene where Jahit crushes glasses with his bare hands, chemical substances were used. Birol Ünel's hands were covered with a special compound that turned red when it came into contact with the liquid in the glasses (plastic).
- In one of the scenes on the streets of Istanbul, a cat runs across the frame from left to right. The animal ended up in the shot by chance and added a certain symbolism to the scene. During final editing, it was decided to leave these shots in.
