Director Ruba Nadda on why she wanted to make her thriller about a father in search of his daughter and the chaos in the Middle East. Ruba added, "I situated the story in January 2011 because I knew that I could not keep up with the current events. I'm Syrian and I knew that the President wasn't going to fall that easily. You can't utter anything about the President without disappearing and your entire family getting wiped out. I knew that and that's part of the reason why I could just not walk away from this story."
