¡Bukraken!

According to David Díaz, in order to develop the story he was inspired by the Monty Python's sketch "The Funniest Joke In the World" (on the episode Whither Canada? (1969)), the mockumentary Lo que hacemos en las sombras (2014) and the documentary miniseries Shoah (1985). The first 2 served to inspire him to create that universe of false historical documentary in the absurd genre. And with Shoah (1985) he used the same shooting method when conducting the interviews. Made without cuts, leaving the parts intact when the interviewees collapsed and cried in the middle of a scene; and the fact that historical footage was never showed.
