What's left behind the scenes
- Filming in the Apple store in Amsterdam, where the real events unfolded, proved impossible. The filmmakers were forced to study the area around the square in the city center as it was visible from inside the Apple store, and recreate what they saw in a plane hangar in another part of the city.
- The screenplay is based on a real case in Amsterdam in 2022, when an unknown person in camouflage and an explosive belt entered an Apple store, took hostages, and demanded a ransom in Bitcoin.
- A Bulgarian citizen who was taken hostage preferred that his name not appear in the film. Instead, a fictional character played by Admir Šehović was created for the film.
