The shooting in Málaga raised so much expectation that more than a few times passers-by spontaneously shouted at Banderas expressions such as ‘you are greater than the Cautivo!’ – a Catholic sculpture revered in Málaga – or approached him to ask him unusual things, like a bullfighter who begged him to be his manager.
The film script is written by the novelist from Málaga Antonio Soler, who was awarded the Spanish literary prize Premio Nadal for this novel in 2004. The author uses in his work exact places from his native Málaga which are depicted in the film.
During the shooting, Banderas showed up with a cap he had received from the actors, which read the nickname they had given him during rehearsals: “Il Capo” [The Boss].
Although the film is set in the summer, the shooting extended from the end of November to the middle of February, and the rain was artificially simulated, to the astonishment of the people from Málaga.
