Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hobert filmed on Gotland using only natural light; several takes were ruined by actual 14th-century ruins collapsing.
Based loosely on a 1373 legal case where a Swedish woman successfully sued her husband for abandonment—rare documented female agency in medieval Nordic law.
