      This was model May Anderson's first acting role. Suzanne Bier met her at a party and cast her as Sanne. She resisted making Anderson audition because she thought the audition would be bad, but that Anderson would be right for the role.

    A good Drama/thriller
    Well built film. Although the writer forced the situation of the baby's non-identity recognition, it did not detract from the plot as a whole. Except for this issue, which I attribute as a minor flaw in the script, the other facts show a credible and acceptable logic even for fiction. The film's narrative is intriguing and leaves the viewer anxious for what is to come. I enjoyed watching it and recommend it as entertainment.
