The film is starring by Saga Sarkola, Mimosa Willamo, Lauri Tilkanen, Pekka Strang and Minna Haapkylä.The film was shot in 2020 in Estonia, Germany and Norway. The actual production process of the film already started in the fall of 2015, and it was supposed to be in theaters in March 2022, but the corona restrictions moved the premiere to the fall of the same year. The film's budget was €3.4 million.The film was premiered in Finland on 2 September 2022. It received a mixed reception from critics, partly praising its accurate world view, while partly criticizing the cliché of the plot.
