One day before shooting, the cinematographer went to get the camera in another state, with his assistant. On their way back, their car was robbed. Thankfully, the camera was safe at home, but all the assistant's clothes were in the car. Production had to get him clothes for the shooting days.
There were rehearsals with both actors in Rio and, to make art objects, production took pictures of them as a couple, as if they were honeymoon pictures to figure in the house.
During this photoshoot, people recognized Rui Resende as Professor Astromar, from the telenovela Roque Santeiro. Some people would call Rui by the characters name, others just sang the theme song for the character.
About being recognized as Dr. Astromar, Rui has said: "This character guarantees that my death will be news in Jornal Nacional". Jornal Nacional is the biggest news broadcast in the biggest TV network in Brazil.
In the end of the second day of shooting - halfway through the process -, the producers found out about an issue with the camera. The cinematography assistant said he's seen it happen before and, when it did, they lost everything they filmed. Fearing the same would happen, shooting was canceled the next day and the film was sent to processing. In the end of the day, they found out everything was fine. A technician saw the camera and said it would work for the rest of filming.
