Production

Marina Gera explained that when she talked with György Pálfi on the phone, the director was in no hurry to tell her why the role would be difficult. "Only at the end did he tell me that it's time for the bad news: you have to play it completely naked. But I really liked the idea, I thought it was really nice. And I said, 'Yeah, sure.'"[1]

Awards

The film won the Special Jury Prize at the 49th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, where Pálfi also won the Best Director Award.[2]
