Renato (Marco Delgado) mentions the actress Lia Gama as his ideal woman.
This is a nod to the fact that Lia Gama previously starred in Crónica dos Bons Malandros (1984), precisely as Marlene, Renato's girlfriend, here played by Maria João Bastos.
Inspired by the book with the same name by Mário Zambujal.
This is the second adaptation of the book "Crónica dos Bons Malandros" by Mário Zambujal, after the film Crónica dos Bons Malandros (1984).
Maria João Bastos (Marlene) and Marco Delgado (Renato) also play a couple in the TV series Três Mulheres (2018).
