What's left behind the scenes
- Exterior shots were filmed in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, while the house scenes and farm scenes were organized in studio pavilions.
- The Vesper drone, as performed by Raffiella Chapman, was real in some scenes and a product of digital technology in others. The sound of the real drone was very loud and distracted the actors.
- No scenes in the film were shot in front of a green screen. Special effects were present in the film, but only when it was necessary to show an enlarged image of a plant or a ship.
