The film was selected as the Slovenian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 84th Academy Awards, [4] however, the Society of Slovene filmmakers (Društvo slovenskih filmskih ustvarjalcev, DSFU) neglected to officially submit the entry in time because of a misunderstanding within the organization, so it wasn't included in the final list of entries.
