Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Victoria Sanchez spent six hours daily in makeup using yak hair applied in individual hand-laid layers. She couldn't sit during application.
Based on the real-life Laloo family and other hypertrichosis performers in 19th-century 'freak shows,' the film deliberately echoes Tod Browning's Freaks (1932) in its carnival politics.
