Almási heard from a friend the story of a strange team building session where the company employees were given the opportunity to destroy an old coffee machine. The event turned into a collective smashing ritual - a metaphor for the inside tension not only in them but inside Hungary.
Almási graduated from the film class that included Ágnes Kocsis (Fresh Air), Áron Mátyássy (Lost Times), and Attila Gigor (The Investigator).
The film was shot in a run-down hotel in Budapest.
The budget of the film was HUF 103 million. The Motion Picture Public Foundation of Hungary MMKA (www.mmka.hu) granted HUF 44 million, Hungarian Public Television MTV (www.mtv.hu) gave HUF 20 million. The film was made in coproduction with two Germam companies: 27 Films Production (www.27films.biz) and Superkrush Films (www.superkrush.com). They took advantage of Hungary's 20% film rebate. The Hungarian producer is Ferenc Pusztai, KMH Film (www.kmhfilm.com).
