In the early 1980s, on the set of this movie, Lucélia Santos received long, late-night phone calls from Nelson Rodrigues. In one of them, the author wanted to know what she had felt during the anthological scene in which a young woman from a rooted middle-class family was gang raped by five black men.
In another one of these phone calls, Rodrigues asked Santos if she was still married, saying her actresses always separated after making his films and plays, due to the realism and sensuality of the sex scenes.
Final film of Henriette Morineau.
