Trivia

Iiro Küttner's script came second in the national screenplay-contest that was held in Finland in the beginning of the 90s (the winner was Juha Lehtovuori with his script Veturimiehet heiluttaa). Director Veikko Aaltonen got interested in the script and wanted to make a film of it. See more »
