    • Trivia
      Lars Ranthe, the actor who played the headteacher Toft Lassen, did not talk to the children during shooting. It made all the orphans insecure and they needed that for the movie.
    • Goofs
      The Danish F68 telephone type is shown at an office desk in the start of the movie, set in 1967. This telephone was introduced in 1968.

    Child Torture
    I'm only going to mention what other reviews haven't, and the topic is: Did the movie exaggerate the mistreat of children? The answer is no, and here is the factual explanation why:

    Note the following excerpt of a public apology presented by BBC News, dated August 13, 2019-

    Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has officially said sorry to hundreds of victims of historical abuse in state-run homes. From 1945 to 1976 children were sexually abused, beaten and drugged at the homes, an official inquiry found.

    This stunning acknowledgement validates everything we see in this excellent movie. As such, it is a documentary presented in drama format.
