Agustí Vila wrote her role specifically for Emma Suárez and also wanted Geraldine Chaplin for the very beginning.
When director Agustí Vila and producer Luis Miñarro were discussing possible choices to pair up with Emma Suárez, they both agreed on Eduard Fernández. Fernández refused the role several times, arguing it was a confusing and not amusing drama. It wasn't until Vila explained to him that it was indeed a comedy that Fernández decided to do it.
