Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Persbrandt and Rapaport were real-life partners during filming, adding layers to their on-screen tension. The birthday dinner scene was shot in chronological order to exhaust the cast authentically.
Bjerking's background in documentary photography heavily influenced the film's static, composed framing — every shot resembles a family portrait about to fracture.
