Production
Development
Director Michał Kwieciński had previously worked with Eryk Kulm on his 2022 film, Filip. When Kulm expressed that Frédéric Chopin was his dream role, Kwieciński began researching the composer. He was inspired by the Norwegian film The Worst Person in the World in deciding to present Chopin's life in distinct vignettes. The film was announced in March 2024.
Casting
Eryk Kulm joined the cast in June 2024. To prepare for the role, he read two extensive biographies about Chopin. He also spent three months learning piano pieces by Chopin to play in the film. Pianist Janusz Olejniczak oversaw Kulm's musical preparations. Lambert Wilson was announced as a cast member on 29 August 2024.
Filming
Principal photography began in Poland in August 2024. In late August and early September, filming took place in Roztoka, Żelazno, Lubiąż, and Żagań. From 21 September to 25 September 2024, filming took place in Łódź, including Izrael Poznański Palace.
Filming took place in Bordeaux from 7 October to 26 October 2024. On 29 October 2024, filming began in Mallorca.
Filming is planned for Szczawno-Zdrój, Bolków and Wrocław in December 2024.
