The film was shot and set entirely in Gressoney-Saint-Jean in Valle d’Aosta, a fairytale location with a fairytale castle, Castel Savoia, which was once the summer residence of Queen Margherita, who had it built in the early 20th century to hide her lover. The director chose the location because it conveys the idea of wealth without being excessive or vulgar.
