The movie depicts the countries' border as a [http://www.elitisti.net/web/public/captures/reviews/001750/001993-b.jpg Middle European mountain range] - for reference, [[Did Not Do the Research|even the highest points of the countries' border doesn't rise above half a kilometre in height.]] Reportedly, the first panorama of this sight made the Finnish audience [[So Bad It's Good|burst in laughter]].
