Did you know

• The animal costume worn by Winfried is the Kukeri, a common animal totem in Bulgaria that is believed to scare away evil spirits. It was made from the real hair of long-haired goats and according to actor Peter Simonischek was extremely hot and heavy and smelled like a goat stable. With the exception of the scene when Winfried has the head removed, it was worn by a stuntman.

• At the Bucharest office of Ines' company, an inscription on the wall says: "Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant."

• Winfried Conradi is loosely based on Maren Ade's father who actually likes to put in fake teeth to joke with people.
