Croatian premiere of this film was organised as part of the celebration of the 90th anniversary of Virgilije Nevjestić’s birth, which will be commemorated by the foundation of the same name throughout 2025 with exhibitions and film screenings in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and abroad.

As Vesna Bulatović, president of the Virgilije Nevjestić Foundation, pointed out, "through this jubilee we want to bring Virgilije's legacy, which is rich and, above all, interesting, as evidenced by the numerous awards and exhibitions he received and participated in during his lifetime, closer to the widest domestic, European, and global public". Renowned visual artist Dimitrije Popović and the director of the film Zdenko Jurilj spoke about the film and Vergilije’s artistic achievements.
