Bruno teaches anthropology at an undisclosed university in Southern Italy. The exteriors and interiors are those of the Botanical Garden of Naples.
Most of the scenes in the film are set on a boat, the means of transport used by the protagonist to reach La Galite island after days at sea. The location actually used for this was Buondormire Beach in Palinuro (SA) in the Cilento region, a cove hidden by rocky walls overlooking a clear blue sea.
