Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Subirós based the premise on aphasia research, where brain trauma can leave patients fluent in languages they never formally studied—neuroscience as emotional horror.
Rojas learned her Mandarin lines phonetically without translation, mirroring her character's disorientation—she genuinely didn't understand what she was saying until post-production.
