Did you Know
Director Alex Camilleri nearly canned the whole project as he struggled to find the right person to play Nenu. Fortunately, he was introduced to Nenu Borg, a għannej (traditional Maltese folk singer) who had not sang for over 15 years and persuaded him to take the role and to make his big screen debut at the age of 82.
