Vers l'inconnu

Jim Gallien, the Alaskan who gave Chris the rubber boots in the opening scene, plays himself.

At one point, Chris burns his Social Security card, just like he burned paper money previously.

In real life, Chris didn't burn his Social Security Card. When his sister Carine flew to Alaska to pick up his remains and some of the possessions that were found with him, she did not receive his backpack. Years later, when she returned to Alaska to finally see the bus where Chris died, she met a man who had removed Chris's backpack from the bus shortly after he had died. The man kept the backpack at his home for years, and when he finally gave it back to Carine, she found that it still contained many of Chris's possessions, including his wallet and Social Security card.

The opening title is shown as part of Chris's journal's writings.
