Fun Facts

• Some scenes were actually filmed in Tehran without the Iranian governments knowledge. The government wouldn’t allow an Israel filmmaker to film in the streets of Tehran so Yuval Adler hired a German film company (who then hired a French film company) to shoot scenes in Tehran and they never told the citizens what it was for.
• Martin Freeman replaced Eric Bona as Thomas.
• The film is based on the Hebrew novel ‘The English Teacher’.
