In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a handsome young man, so vain that the gods condemned him to fall in love with his own reflection.

Nowadays, Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a pathological preoccupation with issues of self-importance, closely connected to ego-centrism.

In the original screenplay by Dovilė Gasiūnaitė, Teodore is a handsome and gifted string quartet cello player, who becomes increasingly obsessed with himself.

His looks, sensitivity, and talent initially draw people in, but his lack of empathy and self-obsession hurt everyone around him.

The film's music score was written by Giedrius Puskunigis, and performed by actors who are also professional musicians.
