Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Insight

Cotter based this on real RAF veterans who returned to Germany decades later, unable to process what they'd done until their eighties.

Trivia

Shot in just 18 days on a shoestring budget; the car breaking down wasn't scripted—production actually ran out of money for repairs.
