Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'luzes' in the title refers to traffic lights—director D'avila uses their cyclical red-green-yellow as a visual metaphor for predetermined choice.
The entire film was shot in a functioning São Paulo bar during actual closing hours; the cast improvised reactions to Falat's unpredictable interruptions.
