Production

Hilde Nyeggen Martinsen said the most difficult scene was the end one where she goes inside the ice castle and freeze so terribly.[3]

Line Storesund said she never had any big dreams of becoming an actress until her mother came across an advertisement in Aftenposten where they were looking for a girl age 11 to 12 for the lead role in this film.[4]

The film won the Grand Prix for Best Film at Film Fest Gent in 1988.
