Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Olivia hands the baby over to its father, Daniel, she tells him that he's all the baby has. Although Annika's (the baby's deceased mom) sister, Laura, had been introduced earlier. So the child has an aunt as well, there are more family than what Olivia has claimed.
