Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Fabio Meira based this on a real Brazilian phenomenon—men maintaining secret families called 'second households'—making Irene's shockingly common premise culturally specific.
Priscila Bittencourt and Isabela Torres didn't meet until filming; Meira deliberately kept them separate to capture genuine stranger energy before their characters collide.
