The route is highlighted from several European countries, with The Queen’s Gambit star Thomas Brodie-Sangster taking on the UK and actor Géza Weisz for the Netherlands.

Netflix will provide 40% of the total budget.

The Cinematographer is Jordan Vanschel accompanying him is Manu Van Hoe the Film editor of the series Voices of Liberation.
