Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Diego Luna appears briefly as Renato Guitart—this was shot right before 'Y tu mamá también' made him internationally famous.
Shot entirely in Mexico with a Mexican cast, this American production couldn't film in Cuba due to the U.S. embargo—adding ironic layers to its revolutionary subject.
