Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Klaus Maria Brandauer's final film role before his retirement from acting—he reportedly chose it for its exploration of aging authority figures mirroring his own career twilight.
The film deliberately evokes Switzerland's 'secret' Cold War history, when neutral Zurich was actually a hotbed of espionage between East and West—something Swiss cinema rarely acknowledges.
