The production design stems from the relationship between territory, climate, and narrative. Rural landscapes and interiors privilege natural materials, desaturated tones, and a spatiality that gradually becomes familiar to both characters and audience. The rammed-earth house, the main location, slowly transforms with tenderness for the protagonists as social conflicts intensify. Territory and social landscape are not mere backdrops, but active agents of the dramaturgy.
