Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is Luxembourg's first genre Western, shot entirely in the tiny country's rural north where such isolated communities historically existed.
The film deliberately echoes real European witch-hunting history and folk horror like The Witch, but roots it in specifically Luxembourgish cultural memory of religious isolationism.
