Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of a 2010s wave of Portuguese 'cinema de autor' focusing on Lisbon's urban anxiety, rarely exported beyond festivals.

Trivia

The sidewalk location was chosen before the script; Graciano wrote characters based on daily observations there. Albano Jerónimo's Fred was originally a walk-on role that expanded during filming.
