The well chosen locations such as the spectacular views of Walnut Mountain helped in making the film as real as possible. Location management was handled by Emily Willson-Quayle, who made sure that the right places were used to portray the Amish communities accurately.
The story’s themes, however, also address more general difficulties pertaining to the Amish society, especially those surrounding Rumspringa and the conflict between Amish and non-Amish cultures. Before determining whether to formally convert to the Amish faith, young Amish people are allowed greater freedom to explore the outside world during the Rumspringa period. Although Rumspringa has been depicted in a number of works of literature, actual incidents involving serious aberrations such as forced confinement or abduction are incredibly rare and do not represent the Amish society in general.
