It won three Guldbagge Awards, for Guldbagge Award for Best Film, best film, Guldbagge Award for Best Director, best direction and best cinematography, and was nominated for Guldbagge Award for Best Screenplay, best screenplay.

She is portrayed by Amanda Ooms in the movie. Other key characters are played by Björn Granath, Stina Ekblad, Shanti Roney, Björn Kjellman, Reine Brynolfsson and Rikard Wolff.

In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes.
