Did you know
• Film debut of Grace Gummer, Meryl Streep's daughter. She plays Streep's character, Clara, as a young girl.
• The women in the family (Nívea, Clara, Blanca and Alba) are all named after Spanish words that evoke the color white.
• Antonio Banderas hardly spoke English at the time of filming, which is why his character had little dialogue.
