Kopacz learned of Salyga's story through her blog Chustka. Salyga's readers sponsored a crowdfunding campaign to produce this film.

I don't feel disappointed and a loser in any way. I made a film which moves people all over the world as a significant experience and event in their lives. A film which won numerous awards and was nominated for an Oscar! And finally, a film which allows the memory of Joanna to survive and which will show her son Jaś what a simple day with his mom looked like. Nothing is lost here!
— Aneta Kopacz said in a press release after the Oscar ceremony.[3]
