The film was produced by No-Mad Films—a collaboration between Madants and Nowhere—and Plio Ltd., in co-production with Sweden's Film i Väst and Common Ground Pictures.[7]

Speaking of the film, Szumowska and Englert said: "Kobieta z... is a really important film for us, the result of many years of work, countless meetings with transgender people – people of all ages who have lived in Poland for decades." They added: "We hope that our film will help others understand what it means to be transgender, while giving courage to hundreds of young people who identify as trans but are afraid to share it with others. Above all, we hope that it will increase support for changes in the law that will guarantee life without danger."[3]
