The stories told in the film are adapted from real events, and the reporter Frieden Cyberjim is also a real person, and the screenplay of the film is adapted from his book published in 1994. Freeton Cyberjim's father was the U.S. ambassador to Iran at the time. Living with his father in Iran since childhood made Freeton Cyberjim very familiar with the secular customs there. As a country known as the Islamic country with the strictest taboos and the strictest enforcement of religious laws and regulations, Iran's views on women have not changed much from those in ancient times. Their status is underground, and even the law discriminates against women's rights and interests.
Not many people know about these circumstances, and Freeton Cyberjim's novel is the first public disclosure of this. After that, Cyber Jim and his book were also banned by Iran as a matter of course, and the film was of course also included in the blacklist of Iranian radio and television
