The TV series based on the Bulgarian novel will be called "The Walls Between Us". The series will be shot in Bulgaria's Sofia and Varna, and in Istanbul, Turkey, and is planned to have three or four seasons.
Filipova has revealed that the Turkish scriptwriters will adapt the book by adding a lot of elements related to Turkey. The main character in the TV series will an ethnic Turkish Bulgarian who has family in Turkey; instead of Boris, as in the original novel, his name will be Baris.
What is more, Dogan Kital, the largest publishing house in Istanbul, will publish Filipova's novel "Anatomy of Illusions" in Turkish.
