The film was shot in English, but was released in Czechia before the rest of the world with a Czech dubbing, since the story is set in the origin country. Autochtonous performers got to re-dub their own voices whereas leading ladies Carice van Houten and Hanna Alström were respectively dubbed by famous Czech actresses Anna Geislerová and Katerina Winterová.
The picture was shot in the actual villa designed by Ludwig van der Rohe, which is listed among UNESCO's World Heritage sites.
