Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Alonso cast non-actor Argentino Vargas after meeting him in a remote village; this continues their collaboration from 'La Libertad,' blurring documentary and fiction.
The Teatro San Martín was genuinely struggling — Alonso filmed during its decline, making the movie an accidental elegy for Argentina's grand movie palaces.
