The idea for the film began development in April 2004.
The last film for Denis Simpson before dying.
The lead character Edward is suffering from a terminal illness-in a twist of art imitating life(script was based on true events) and life imitating art(lead actor Attila's life); the actor/producer/director Attila who portrays Edward is also fighting an illness(since 2013).
30% of the script is quotations from famous or non famous authors or anonymous authors. This plays into the obsession of the character Edward; but also mirrors the OCD of the character Elizabeth.
The original trailer was created in 2007 in hopes to release the film that year. The release has been delayed due to technical problems. since 2009.
