Question

I couldn't find it in the book but i do believe it is in the movie.

Answer 1

The entire film was filmed in Bulgaria -- they used a Communist prison camp in nothern Bulgaria (Belene) that was in use from 1944 to 1989 to house political prisonsers to film the camp scenes. I don't know what the fictional name of the camp was in the movie, though -- did we ever know?
