While assembling the necessary budget, director Pieter Goethals searched for every location in the film. He knocked on people's doors, told his story and tried to convince them in collaborating. All of them said "yes" when he walked out of the door. Not that obvious, because the whole film was going to be shot in unique Art Deco and Art Nouveau houses, museums,... all over Belgium (Gent, Brussels, Watermaal Bosvoorde and Middelkerke).
