Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Shot in Grønland, Oslo's immigrant hub, with actual local residents as extras—police later used the film for community outreach.

Insight

Rolfsen spent two years researching Pakistani-Norwegian gangs; the 'honor' title deliberately weaponizes a concept the boys perform but never truly possess.
