Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bjarne Mädel gained 20kg for the role, calling it 'eating for Germany.' The weight visibly fluctuates through scenes shot out of order.
The film satirizes Germany's obsession with 'Schadenfreude' — taking pleasure in others' misfortune — by making the protagonist literally punished for it in real-time.
