    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The majority of the movie was filmed in Lithuania due to the absence of snow in the Netherlands. Artificial snow was used in some of the scenes that were filmed in the Netherlands, and digital snow was sometimes added in post-production. Shots had to be carefully constructed to prevent backgrounds that were obviously free of snow from being revealed.
    • Goofs
      When Jack and Erica are walking over the bridge near the end of the film, they are actually walking to the wrong side of the river. The wooden pylons in the water are on the side of the Veluwe, the woods in which Jack's plane crashed. Jack wanted to go to Zwolle, which is on the side Michiel is watching Jack and his sister cross the bridge. This is due to the fact that another bridge for a highway had been built next to it, which would have ended up in the movie had they filmed the right way around.
