Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Blaško based the script on real Roma scapegoating incidents across Central Europe, where immigrant communities are pitted against each other while systemic failures go unexamined.
The film deliberately withholds the attacker's identity until late, forcing viewers to confront their own prejudices about which characters 'seem' capable of violence.
