Trivia
2009. Bigas Luna suggested to Sergi Rubió that he removed a scene containing explicit sex of the Bigas Luna film Caniche (1979), which appeared as archive footage in the documentary, so that Sergi Rubió's film would not have problems with censorship in film festivals and on television, and to avoid the possibility of offending audiences.

Quotes
Bigas Luna: I'm very keen on symbols, generally speaking. That's what I prefer in the process of film narration. I usually start working on a plot, and when the framework is ready, I begin a true speech of symbols.

Crazy credits
In those days (and this is one of those short films) Sergi Rubió always signed his work with the following link: myspace.com/sergirubio way at the bottom, at the very end of the credits, instead of the name of the production company, the distributor or at least the name of the person who owned the rights, not to mention the closing titles which one would find at the end of just about any commercial film.
