Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Anders Banke is Swedish, which explains why this Polish-set film was shot in Belarus with a patchwork international cast.
The real Operation Paperclip involved thousands of German scientists; this film's micro-mission is pure fiction, though the V-2 rocket paranoia was historically justified.
