The car bringing the protagonist to the sanatorium in the beginning of the movie has a GR car plate, indicating that the location is in the Canton of Grison/Graubunden, which would fit the scenery. However, there is an extra letter in between the numbers. Swiss car plates have no extra letters other than the letters for the Canton. See more »
Goofs
Since the: "Rütlischwur", early in the 14th century, the Swiss define themselves as a: "single People of brethren". Although some noble families kept their titles from before the foundation of the: "Old Swiss Confederacy" and some were granted nobility for services to foreign monarchs, in Switzerland it was quite uncommon to bear a title. Peerage was finally abolished with the creation of the Helvetic Republic in 1798. Therefore it is highly unlikely that in 1814 a "Baron von Reichmerl" could have existed, performing vicious medical experiments. If Alpine mountains and peerage were required for the background story, it should have placed in France, Italy, Austria or Bavaria. See more »

This film's beauty and scenic shots are only beautiful in a shallow way. It is skin deep. The intentions and revelations can only get the orange STD victim excited and few others. Overall, only if you like dotards, European scenery and nothing else to do.
