- About 40 % of the scenes described in the film took place in real life. For example, the scene with the family in the car on the track and the doctor’s conversation in the doctors ' lounge. The Director was personally present. It was so interesting that he just took a piece of paper, a pen and started to write down everything he saw and heard. Of course, these scenes for the film have to be changed a little under the plot, but it is still about 75% true.

- Many of the characters of the film, as well the novel, have their prototypes in real life. Some of them played themselves in the film, but some, for one reason or another, couldn’t take part in the filming.

- All movie scenes are shot either in nature or in real places (school, hospital, and others). None of the decorations was made for the film.
