Production

Dias Gomes wrote the text to be presented as a miniseries but, because of the number of chapters, 35, and the traditional time at which it was presented at 8 pm, it was released as a mininovel, although it was in practice a miniseries. This was due to the fact that the predecessor novel, Explode Coração, was shortened in 2 months, at the author's own request,^[2] and her successor, O Rei do Gado, was not fully prepared.

For the first time in a novel, objects and virtual animals were created on three computer platforms. For the recordings of the cataclysm a model was made, ten times smaller than the scenic city, which had 35 thousand square meters.
