3 questions for...Moritz Boll

An actor friend of mine, Felix Zimmer, once told me about a so-called "map mystery". In 2012, it was discovered that the island "Sandy Island" does not exist. Until then, it could even be found on Google Maps. We then thought about why someone would think up an island. Not a big conspiracy theory, but on a small scale. Why would a father think up an island? In my personal environment, I heard about a pretty dramatic family problem that was the catalyst for combining the two.

In order not to spoil anything, I'll answer quite harmlessly: Yes! In Croatia, while snorkelling.

We also wanted to reinforce the unpredictability of the situation in the forest with the weather in the film. We wanted a real thunderstorm with a sudden downpour. Felix and Fabius carried out highly scientific studies on the ability of garden sprinklers from the DIY store to imitate rain. After about two hours on location, the ground was so muddy that the pick-up sank in. In this scene, however, father and daughter are supposed to be very close, it's all about the two of them. It's difficult to keep calm when you're getting soaked by a garden sprinkler the whole time. But I think that makes it the strongest scene.
