Asked about the scene where 14-year-old Martim Canavarro is seen completely naked in the bath being scrubbed by Anabela Moreira, director David Bonneville said: "I was worried about it because it was very important for the film to have this visual side of nudity, since it is something that is intrinsically linked to the story. Fortunately Martim accepted, with lightness, to do it. Some limits were set, but in the end Martim himself told me to enjoy the best scenes, regardless of whether there was more explicit exposure."
The movie was officially nominated for the Best International Feature Oscar submission by the Portuguese Academy of Film.
