Daniel Jarrosek has created something beautiful. Originally, a professional actress was supposed to play the opening scene. We wanted her to play the real person who opened this abode in the real world. Daniel proposed it to the priest’s mother, who was very defensive against this idea. She only found out about him on set, because if we told her that before she arrived, she might not have come at all. In the end, she agreed to her family’s insistence. It was a great shot, which of course went into the movie.
