Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film weaponizes Hamlet's 'play within a play' structure — Noah literally weaponizes a play. The 14-minute runtime mirrors a sonnet, compressed and deadly.
Heyvaert cast actual Flemish high schoolers with zero prior film experience; D'hoore's finger-breaking scene was achieved with practical prosthetics so convincing his own mother walked off set.
