Cast

Production

The final scene of Anabela Moreira and Nuno Lopes was particularly demanding for the actors given the physical, emotional and sexual violence. For the actress, it wasn't the nudity that bothered her, "but the scene was so vivid that Nuno Lopes hugged me, at the end, and apologized."[3]
