A scene in the orphanage has the character played by Elia Enid Cadilla complaining that the "completion bond" people could shut the orphanage down. The financing structure for most movies requires completion bond insurance, in which a company guarantees financiers that a film will be completed in exchange of a fee and of the possibility of taking over the film, if necessary, to assure its completion. It is not known if this film was in danger of falling into such trouble.
One of two films shot in Puerto Rico in 1997 with partial financing by a grant from the Puerto Rico Department of Labor. The other film was Paging Emma (1999)
The building used as an orphanage was an actual orphanage more than 50 years before the movie was made. It is located in Miramar, Puerto Rico.
