Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Copenhagen Metro expansion depicted was real; production had limited shooting windows during actual construction downtime.
The film quietly indicts Denmark's 'model minority' narrative by making Ivo and Bharan the competent ones while the Danish professionals panic.
