Trivia

Rikke Gregersen (the director) fell in love with the building in the opening scene from a picture she found on Instagram. She contacted the girl who lived there, and the girl agreed to let the crew film in it. But they still had to get an apartment in the identical building across from it, and walked door to door asking, without anyone saying yes. As they had almost given up, they checked the name on the mailbox from the one apartment where nobody was home, and it turned out it was a boy from Rikke Gregersen's film school who lived there. And he agreed to letting them use it.
