Trivia
The film is based on a theatre play of the same name by writer Unto Heikura, which Jussi Koivusilta directed for "Kuhmon Nuorisoseura" in the summer of 1974-1975. Heikura provided initial ideas for the film, but after six script revisions, only the title and some of the same characters were left from the original play.
