Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Brazil's 'EJA' (Youth and Adult Education) system serves over 4 million students, yet receives fraction of daytime school funding — the show's institutional neglect is documentary-level accurate.
Creator Carla Faour developed this after researching real night schools in São Paulo's periphery; several student storylines are direct adaptations of interviews she conducted in 2016-2017.
