• Selected to compete for the Palme d'or in the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. This is the ninth time that a film from director Nanni Moretti is selected at Cannes; every movie he made since "Caro diario" has been at Cannes, he even won the Palme d'or in 2001 with "The Son's Room."

• The movie came out in Italy in April 2023, a month before it was presented at Cannes, which is very rare, even though it's allowed by the rules of the festival.

• At a given point Giovanni (Nanni Moretti) dreams about writing a movie about a man that spends a day swimming from pool to pool in order to get home. While the character never writes about it, the movie in question actually exists: The Swimmer (1968) starring Burt Lancaster.
