The film was made during the Second Karabakh War in fall 2020, when Azerbaijan launched a large-scale military offensive against Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).

This is their story," the film's description says. A total of 138 films have been submitted to the Oscars Best Documentary Feature category this year.
