Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Chile's prison system leaves 70% of ex-inmates without employment; Pérez shot in actual reintegration neighborhoods to cast non-actors with lived experience.
Amanda's character was expanded after María de Los Ángeles García improvised her first scene; originally she had three lines total.
