    • Trivia
      Tormod Lien, who plays the serial killer in the film, actually had to walk out during the first press-screening because some of his own scenes got to intense. Tormod Lien is a religious man who works as a churchwarden, and the extreme contrast to playing such an evil person fascinates him. He has led a very interesting life with a lot of these kinds of contradictions: he has worked in a prison and been an inmate, he has worked in mental health care and been a patient himself. Tormod now tries to help and inform people using his own experiences in orations and in his work.
