The narrative has been derived from three broad areas of research — the depiction of moon in fiction, rituals associated with it and the scientific phenomena revolving around it. "We read about Chinese, Japanese, African and Indian folktales and poems revolving around the moon. We've also used short stories by writer Italo Calvino.
