Trivia

Colonia Dignidad

Colonia Dignidad was a chilean village founded by german exiles and inmigrants after WWII. During Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship this place turned into a prison and torture camp controlled by a cult. The village is currently named Villa Baviera.

Not the usual damsel

Emma Watson has explained that one of the reasons for her to accept the role as Lena was because it switchs the usual damsel in distress stereotype, presenting a woman who investigates to save the life of her husband.

The visit of Emma Watson

In 2014 Emma Watson visited Villa Baviera in what was at first thought to be a simple vacation trip by the press. Recently it has been revealed that she was paying a visit to the former Colonia Dignidad in order to research for her role.
