Production[edit]
Speaking about the series, series creator Ivan Cotroneo stated:
We wanted to write a story about a non-cisgender woman, a strong and independent woman, the story of a transgender woman. Often these characters are left on the margins, are collateral, or, in any case, marginalized.[2]
The series was filmed in Lecce and Naples beginning in March 2023.[3][4] After filming in and falling in love with Apulia, lead actress Vittoria Schisano bought a house in the region.[5]
