Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The entire film was shot in a single Brussels nightclub over one night, with makeup artists frantically aging actors between takes.
This 2004 short predates the mainstream 'one continuous shot aging' gimmick by over a decade, making it a secret ancestor to films like 'Boyhood'.
