Both Bogach and Kone are non-professional actors in their first-ever film roles. According to Luchetti, "I was looking for real people whose emotions had not been infringed by acting techniques or trying to get in the characters. I wanted two real kids who had gone through the experience of leaving their country, where there was a hard reality, getting on the boat, risking their own lives just for the chance to have a future."[3]

The cast also includes Aniello Arena, Giorgio Colangeli, Mauro Addis, Alessandro Pani and Fausto Verginelli.

The film premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival,[1] where it received an honorable mention from the FIPRESCI Discovery Prize jury.[4]
