The film was written and directed by Nidhal Chatta and was based on his original script. The Iraq war played a part in the fiction of the thriller. In the film The Infinite, a manuscript called the Infinite disappeared from the Iraqi National Museum in Baghdad. The manuscript dates back to the Abassid period, the Golden Arab Age, and its scientific content is intended to question many established ideas, as it is an irrefutable proof that the Arab scientists of that time formulated the theory of the origin of the species already 10 centuries before Charles Darwin. The world premiere of Locarno International Film Festivals was at the Carthage Film Festival.
