editThe idea for the film was born on March 6, 2021, when David Galán Galindo, one of the directors, witnessed the automatic victory of Turu, the Wacky Hen as Best Animated Film for being the only candidate at the 35th Goya Awards.[9] That event motivated him, together with Esaú Dharma and Pablo Vara, to produce an animated film in less than 1 year (6 months) with the unique purpose of winning an automatic Goya.[10]
