Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of the New Argentine Cinema wave that rejected polished storytelling for raw, wandering narratives—López shot this with non-actors she found through Buenos Aires theater circles.

Memorable

The infamous water scene was improvised after del Corro actually fell into the freezing river; López kept rolling and rewrote the power structure around it.
