Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film is based on György Dragomán's multiple award winning novel, but the story has been transposed to fictitious near-future dictatorship. Dragomán said this about the film: "In my original novel I wanted to show freedom in a society where freedom should not exist. In their movie Alex and Jörg were brave enough to take my communist childhood tale and adapt it into a modern story, showing us that the threat to freedom is as eternal as our fight for it."
- GoofsIn a close-up shot of Djata as he watches a time-lapse video of a city skyline, viewers see reflections of two lights in his eyes that don't match with reflections that would actually be seen from the video he's watching. In a closer shot a few seconds later viewers do see reflections of the video in his eyes.
Featured review
Weak plot, good production
Really, it's a bit an empty movie. Some great shots, clearly the crew is capable, but the movie as it's edited just doesn't go anywhere. 90 minutes of wasted time. It carries the potential to so much more but never really delivers. If you watch it, do it for the esthetics. For the movie in its entirety it is not particularly worth the time.
