One of the key influences in the film being made was the death of Theodoros Angelopoulos's mother in 1998. Her life had spanned virtually the entire century so he wanted to make a film that did the same.
The first in a proposed trilogy about the history of modern Greece which Theodoros Angelopoulos has vowed will be his final films.
The movie sold 40,000 tickets. It came in 5th out of 16 movies.
