Did you know

• Daughter is a teenager throughout the film past the prologue despite the indication of 13,867 days having passed since the extinction event. 13,867 days equals approximately 38 years, hinting at Mother's true motives.

• None of the characters we meet are ever given a name, and the named characters (whom we never meet) all have well-known biblical names: Jacob, Rachel, and Simon.

• The book that Woman uses to draw her sketches in is a paperback copy of Edgar Rice Burroughs' The Gods of Mars. There are thematic similarities between the book and the film: both feature characters that are being misled about the true nature of the world they live in, and the arrival of an outsider exposing the deception.
