    • Trivia
      Based upon a Juan Marsé's novel. The writer did not like the film at all, to the point of stating that "the best thing about it was Ornella Muti's ass." Muti replied: "I liked my lips, my eyes, my hands. But I had never thought that my butt could be so attractive".

    Maribel Verdu cameo

    The cameo of Maribel Verdu appears at the carnival party in a bar. She plays a saxophone only for a few seconds. She had previously worked with the same director on the flim " Lovers : "A true Story" (Amantes ) the previous year. Some of the filming locations are : the Rambla de Catalunya, the Cathedral of Barcelona and surroudings, the Plaza Sant Jaume and the Verdi Street. The building where the protagonist lives, Walden 7 ( located in Sant Just d Esvern, Barcelona) appears at many moments with a net in the courtyards, where tales fall continuously. It a situation based on real facts, the construction has had this problem for years.
