Filming took place in numerous outdoor locations (250), as well as in actors' homes, businesses in Bilbao and the Left Bank, and in upper-class neighborhoods of Bizkaia, indicating a strong immersion in the local environment and an authentic use of spaces.
The series features a wide range of ages in its cast, from children as young as 4 to adults of 86, suggesting a narrative that involves diverse generations and perspectives. The collaboration on set of a 4-year-old acting alongside a 70-year-old and young people of various ages is mentioned, highlighting the spirit of collaborative cinema community.
The director, Jaxsa, had won awards at festivals with other works, but the motivation to make an eight-hour series with a very tight budget (barely EUR1000 when finishing the filming process) was a personal challenge to prove their worth. This underscores the passion and commitment to the project despite the difficulties.
The making of the series was characterized by being a true exercise in independent filmmaking, with limited resources. The use of only one camera, one tripod, and one microphone is mentioned, underscoring the austerity of the means employed.
Collaboration and support were fundamental. The importance of the assistants, without whom the series would not have been possible, is highlighted. All collaborated selflessly, helping with equipment and on set.
