Filming Locations |
Did You Know?
Trivia | Ursula Meier has been searching for location for nearly one year, even in Canada. Eventually she found a lost part of a highway in Bulgaria. The house in which the movie plays, was built alongside the highway especially for filming. There were up to 300 drivers "playing" the fast moving cars - all were inhabitants of a nearby village. On days without shooting the drivers came visiting the location with their whole families. See more » |
Goofs | An accident halts the traffic on both sides of the highway. Only one side should be affected: the one leading to where the accident took place. See more » |
