Marcelo Serrado had to scale the Sugarloaf Mountain along with Ryan Kwanten for the "Acho que Estou Apaixonado" segment, though he is afraid of heights. He ended up using the help of steel cables to be lifted up, which were removed during post-production.
José Padilha's segment "Inútil Paisagem" was almost cut from the theatrical release due to legal threats from religious institutions because of the use of the Christ statue's image and its context. They first considered it to be offensive and disrespectful, though later backed off.
Bruna Linzmeyer and Rodrigo Santoro took ballet classes to prepare for their roles, though their pas de deux was largely performed by professional dancers Cassi Abranches and Diogo De Lima.
Stephan Elliott wrote his segment based on his own life story, where he met his partner in the same circumstances.
The inspiration behind John Turturro's segment was taken from a song by Vanessa Paradis, who also stars in the short.
