The film was made with the help of a funding award from the David Lean Foundation.
On the basis of a rough cut alone, the film was shortlisted for the Akira Kurosawa Memorial Short Film Prize in Japan, the only UK entry to be shortlisted.
Critical reaction ==
The film was reviewed in Hotdog Magazine which said: "This short is beautifully shot, gently taking its time to unfold, and the presence of stage and screen veteran Anthony Head really raises the bar a notch: on this evidence, Daniel Cormack is a young director to watch.

It felt very European, like one of those films in which Daniel Auteil and Juliette Binoche fall in love and break up, one of those films that somehow, as a rule, we can't do in this country.
With this well cast, well acted, well made film Daniel Cormack seems therefore to be breaking all the rules without breaking sweat or showing off.
