Production

In the scene where Juliano Cazarré had to manually stimulate a horse, he was sure that Gabriel Mascaro had planned to use a prosthesis. Instead, when the director told him that he would have to actually touch the horse's penis, he refused to continue unless Mascaro did the same first. So in the end they both did the act.

The genuineness of the scene in which Juliano Cazarré had to have sex with Samya De Lavor, who was really 8 months pregnant, is disputed. Mascaro asked Cazarré to have an erection at the beginning of the scene. Cazarré said the sex was simulated.

Gabriel Mascaro revealed that all the sounds in the film were recreated in post-production.
