Production

The film is directed by Roberto Santucci, one of Brazil’s highest-grossing filmmakers, particularly known for his comedy films. It is produced by Camisa Listrada and Panorama Filmes, with co-production by Globo Filmes, and André Carreira as the executive producer. The screenplay was written by Paulo Cursino.

The idea for the film’s plot began to take shape while Paulo was working on the 2012 film Até que a Sorte nos Separe 2, also directed by Santucci. Specifically, it was inspired by a scene in which the characters stayed at a hotel where "everything went wrong." This sparked the idea of creating a movie that would expand on a similar premise.

With a total budget of around 6 million reais, the film's key scenes were shot in a house located in the Itaipuaçu neighborhood of Maricá, in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

The film brings together a diverse cast in its central roles. Cacau Protásio and Danielle Winits lead the production as its two strongest names. Antônio Fragoso was personally invited by the director to play his first leading role in a film.

Actor and comedian Maurício Manfrini, known for his breakout role as Paulinho Gogó, was cast as one of the film's protagonists — marking his first major cinema role. During a promotional event for the film in Recife, Manfrini stated:
