Did You Know?
| Trivia | The film Ansa and Holappa see in the cinema is The Dead Don't Die (2019), which was directed by Jim Jarmusch. Jarmusch has said he has been influenced by Kaurismäki, appearing in Leningrad Cowboys Go America (1989) and set part of his own film Night on Earth (1991) in Finland, where he used several of Kaurismäki's regular actors.

| Goofs | The sequence of radio news reports about the Russo-Ukrainian War is not in chronological order. For example, the Mariupol hospital airstrike is mentioned at the very beginning of the film, whereas a report on the Mariupol theatre airstrike is heard in the second half, even though there's only a week of difference between those events. Between those bulletins there are several others about the events having happened in the summer and in the autumn of 2022. This is impossible in the reality of the film, because its narrative is completely linear. See more » |

Hannes Huotari: Why didn't you? pretty girl, though a quiet one Holappa: I lost her phone number. Hannes Huotari: Why don't you ask the directory? Holappa: I don't know her name.
