Even though the movie is shot in Finland, the car they are driving in to the arctic circle has Estonian plates. It is very uncommon that any Finn would have a car with foreign plates.
The movie is based in Finland, but the beer they are drinking in the movie, Sofiero, is not sold in Finland. It has been imported from Sweden.
The first film ever shot in the Helsinki Music Centre (used as the set for the Art University where the main characters studied) which, at the time, was not yet open to the public.
