Actress Cláudia Raia talked about her difficulties in filming a nude scene with a horse for this movie. Raia said that for this scene, filmed on a cold dawn, she wore only a bodice and that the horse needed to be calmed down in a moment. "There was a scene of mine naked, only with a bodice, which we shot on a cold morning in Teresópolis. My character almost had sex with the horse, which was actually her dream. At a certain point, the horse went crazy and needed to be removed from the scene in order to get a little out of it ", she said. "I'm glad I had Louise Cardoso as a romantic partner to support me. The result is interesting, people love it, but I confess that it is difficult to watch. It was difficult to do too, it is very strong ", she added.
