Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Mehdi Avaz cast his own daughter Karla as Liv, adding unsettling autobiographical texture to the parent-child dynamics.
The film deliberately echoes 'Scenes from a Marriage' but replaces intellectual sparring with the brutal silence of Danish emotional repression.
