Trivia
The movie production was severely delayed and hampered by the Covid 19 epidemic. Two crew members passed away during the production of this movie. Mr. Florian Bachman, S.I.C. (analog film consultant), and Mrs. Armilde Becker both died from the effects of the Covid-19 virus. The Copenhagen sound studio facility went bankrupt in the middle of the Dolby sound mix, and international Covid-19 regulation prevented the intended release in 2020.
