Contents

The movie is in black and white and was described by Moodysson as "a silent movie with sound". The only sound in the film is a spoken stream-of-consciousness monologue which is only loosely related to the visuals.

It was shot in Cluj, Romania, Chernobyl, Ukraine and Trollhättan, Sweden.

In 2010 director Sjaron Minailo adapted the movie into a multimedia opera performance with soprano Elena Vink with music by Henry Vega and Kasia Glowicka. The opera premiered at the Rotterdam Operadagen. [2]
