Filming and premieres
The idea of filming the novel “Desert Cities” by Mexican writer Jose Agustin came up with the director Robert Sneijder long before the filming began, but when communicating with the author of the work, it turned out that another Mexican director, Alfonso Cuaron , already had the same idea. A few years later, Alfonso Cuaron gave Robert Sneijder green light for the production of motion pictures.
In the role of Eligio Sneijder, he initially saw Gael Garcia Bernal , who advised the director to take on the role of Susana the Spanish actress Wernick Echegi.
The film was shot in the cities of Mexico City ( Mexico ) and Winnipeg ( Canada ). The entire film was shot with a hand-held camera.
The film was presented at the Guadalajara Film Festival on March 5, 2016, and at the Chicago Film Festival on October 21, 2016.
