Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in just 13 days in Listowel, Ontario with a skeleton crew; Stormare accepted the role immediately after reading the 20-page outline.
The Mennonite community depicted is loosely based on Ontario's Old Order settlements, though the film deliberately blurs specific sect details to universalize the religious guilt.
