    • Trivia
      This film was shot from back to front, so it would be easier on lead actor Filip Peeters. He lost around 60 pounds by only drinking liquid foods for a few months, and could then gain weight throughout the shoot. He said it was very awkward to play a very worn out person (as his character Marcel van Loock was at the end of the movie), when you've just started shooting.
    • Quotes

      Rudy Vermeersch: Marcel, those pills... What are they for?

      Marcel Van Loock: The beds are comfortable, aren't they?

      Rudy Vermeersch: Are they for what l think they're for?

      Marcel Van Loock: At least, they're better than the floor.

      Rudy Vermeersch: Marcel.

      Marcel Van Loock: l need them, Rudy.

      Rudy Vermeersch: What do you need?

      Marcel Van Loock: The certainty that if l can't take it anymore, l can put an end to it.

      Rudy Vermeersch: Being hungry, cold, humiliated, a man can take all that.But the daily battle with your own thoughts, that's a different matter. lf things aren't right in your head, then you're finished, Marcel. Then you're really finished.

    a movie need u to wait for the end
    I nearly cried when I finally reached to the end of this movie, Marcel is the focus of the movie, but his family, which had done so much for him to rescue him made me shocked. This movie was said to be adapted partly from the truth in 1996, if it is, the ....prison life in Morocco is really ... horrific. The attitude of the Government makes people feel disappointed. Marcel survived finally because he has his wife and daughter and his brother in law and all the people who have conscience with in their hearts support him. Rudy's end is a pity. I debt whether Marcel could have been survived from the hard beginning of his jail life if he had never met Rudy. whatever inside or outside jail, people who in their life can find such a good friend, and survived from such bad situation could be so called the lucky ones. Anyway, a very good movie, and very good movie music. All the elements in this film tell me to treasure my current life.
