Director Marcelo Caetano has spoken in favor of the sex scenes. "You just can't not show it all. You just gotta be wise about how to show it. A love scene has got to move the story forward, since that purely voyeuristic vision is of zero interest for me as a director."
Compared by critics to Wong Kar-Wai's Hong Kong Express (1994) and Happy Together (1997). These are reportedly some of director Marcelo Caetano's favorite movies, "but I like to emphasize that my own came to life from Brazilian traditions."
Bruna Linzmeyer is the "famous" actor in the cast, since she has starred many roles on mainstream productions such as telenovelas.
Marcelo Caetano was the assistant director on Tatuagem (2013) -one of his own credited inspirations for this movie.
