Trivia

The movies title "ser du månen, Daniel?" - "Do you see the moon, Daniel?" Is a reference to the book by Puk Damsgård by the same title where Daniels mother writes in her diary while he's captive and comforts herself by knowing that they're under the same sky and asks "I wonder if you see the moon, Daniel"
