To complete the post-production process, director/producer Alan Coton was forced to create a production company of his own, La Chancla Producciones, which also became the international distributor. The movie itself was completed in 2003.
Principal Photography was completed in less than three weeks in February 1999.
The screenplay (originally entitled "Estocolmo en Mexico") was inspired by a real-life fact happened in Tláhuac where a group of teenagers get caught and raped by a group of cops.
