Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Herrmann's debut feature was shot in just 18 days with a skeleton crew, forcing the dreamlike atmosphere through practical constraints.

Insight

The film deliberately never reveals what Antek fled from in Germany—making his guilt universal rather than specific, and infinitely more unsettling.
