Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during Belgium's ongoing reckoning with clerical abuse scandals, the film deliberately mirrors real cases where church files were destroyed and victims silenced. Lannoo called it 'a fiction that wishes it weren't.'
The 80-minute runtime is intentional—Elisabeth's transformation from radio host to avenger happens with thriller compression, but Lannoo shoots it like a funeral. The speed of her moral collapse is the point.
