 The ad hoc health board believed that Noam's fate was in Sepala's hands, while Constance first rejects her husband's involvement in the film, claiming that the town should choose someone with more steak in the dip theory outbreak. In reality, the Sepalas did have a greater stake. Their daughter, Sigrid, was eight years old. In the movie, Sepala travels to Nanana as a blizzard is raging. The winds were actually in a unique state of calm, and Sepala had cheering supporters as he set off for a nalado. Halfway to Noam, but still a six-day track covering a distance of 630 miles. Sepala traveled a total of 261 miles, 170 miles to pick up the serum, and 91 miles with the serum, which is still a significant distance, as it was demonstrated in the film when more teams were joined to the relay mid-run.
