Interesting facts

Production

Based on the true story of three girls raped by a group of cops in Tláhuac, Mexico City, the movie was produced by an independent production team of former film students of Centro Universitario de Estudios Cinematográficos called Cooperativa 9.5 en la escala de Richer SC de RL.

Being financed without the support of national funds and with a final budget of 1,2m pesos (approximately $100k), the movie eventually completed post-production in late 2003. A new production company, La Chancla Producciones, S.A. de C.V, was formed by the director Alan Coton and newcomer producer Sophie Avernin to support the post-production process and complete the film.
