The film is set in a villa on an island in Sardinia, shot in a combination of locations that are not always Sardinian. While the turquoise sea surrounding the imaginary island of Marascosa is unmistakably Sardinian, the luxury residence where Beppe Catanìa is held hostage is Villa Borghese Cavazza on Isola di Garda, which rises in Lake Garda in the municipality of San Felice del Benaco (province of Brescia). The dock Isola Bianca in Olbia Harbour is an early setting where, while awaiting Block, her secretary explains her activities to the former CIA agent who has been engaged to carry out a kidnapping. Before and after his kidnap, Catanìa spends his days in Palau (province of Olbia-Tempio): his initial failed escape attempt takes him to Roccia dell’Orso in the Capo d’Orso area. The woman’s kidnap was filmed in Mostacciano, on the outskirts of Rome.
