Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on the 2012 Steubenville case echoes and Swedish 'Fittja case' — Gårdeler deliberately avoided American-style sensationalism for something more insidiously ordinary.
The title 'Flocken' refers to both 'snowflakes' and 'flocking' behavior — Gårdeler wanted the village's groupthink to feel as natural and unstoppable as weather.
