2023-02-17 update: added the paragraph with Google Trends picture, suggesting spatial-temporal statistical connection between the movie and the Nord Stream sabotage.
Per Google Trends figure below, the frequency of searches for this movie name peaked on the week September 11-17. Outside Canada, where movie played at the festival, the highest interest was in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Netherlands. The Nord Stream explosions were in the Sweden and Denmark waters. Netherlands and Norway are close by. Given simplicity of execution (lowering a video camera equipped drone with attached explosives from a boat, or even dropping explosives after locating the pipeline), this act of sabotage could be prepared within less than a week.
Curiously, the movie was shown at the Hamburg Film Festival on October 1, a few days after the pipeline explosions. The movie is based on the namesake book, urging committing such crimes. The book is shortly described in the main article.
