Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nahuel Pérez Biscayart learned to ride horses specifically for the role, then spent months un-learning proper technique to capture Remo's reckless style. The racing scenes use almost no CGI—those are actual jockeys at full gallop.
The film deliberately echoes Argentina's '90s noir tradition while satirizing the country's obsession with masculine failure narratives—think Borges meets Scorsese on a bender.
