Sveta wasn't supposed to have as much face time as she ultimately ended up with; she weaseled her way into a much bigger role than originally intended ;) But I definitely wanted to try and work in a cast who often don't get mentioned as much. (I was determined to get Sister Ruth in there somehow - that was certain!)

So, the movie was actually a BBC/Working Title Films and was a critical success in Europe ;) My sleep deprived brain came up with the brilliant (or not so brilliant!) desire to have a TVTropes fake!entry about the film (and it's subsequent sequel), though that might just be a way to try and prevent myself from actually writing it for real! :D
