Mu Tunç's script was inspired by his childhood memories[21] which his brother was one of the founding member of the pioneer punk bands in Istanbul. Many aspects of the film mirrored 1990's underground life in Istanbul and offers a look into a subculture that was largely unknown in Turkey[22] and worldwide.[23] [24] [25] [26]
