Trivia[]

  1. Although Chen Nian and Xiao Bei are around their age range, Dongyu Zhou (Chen Nian) is actually eight years older than Jackson Yee (Xiao Bei).
  2. The film was selected to have its world premiere at the 69th Berlin International Film Festival, held from 7 to 17 February 2019, where it was to be played as part of the Generation 14plus program. However, it was announced shortly before the start of the festival, on 4 February 2019, that all four screenings had to be canceled. No particular reason was given, so it is possible that the full movie was not ready in time. The cancellation allowed the festival to instead program additional screenings of "37 Seconds (2019)", "Reconstructing Utøya (2018)" and two award-winners from that years Generation 14plus program.
