TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

This is practically a completely true-to-life documentary, since all the actors are playing themselves in a real situation and are all related just as shown in the movie, although 'Nestor Marin' is actually a life-long father figure to Machado, not his biological father.

Jorge Machado is a trained ornithologist and canoe-tour guide in the Yucatan.

The movie was shot with a spartan two-man crew and an HD camera.

Graffiti on the wall in the final scene back in Rome translates as "You are my present".

Tired of the repeated question about whether his movie is fictional or documentary, director 'Pedro Gonzalez-Rubio' finally explained to one festival audience: "It's a film".

Popular Dialogues

"Jorge: It's not just a problem about feelings. The problem... is that I'm unhappy with your reality and you are with mine."

"Jorge: Me neither, I drink my coffee every night before going to bed Matraca: Me too, when I'm with my buddies we always have coffee. But we drink it during daytime Jorge: With the old guys Matraca: With my buddies, the young guys Jorge: What do you mean by young guys. Are they your age. If they are your age than that's not young anymore. You have lived many spring times, you're not that young any more Matraca: Well, I'm still young at heart. I don't feel old... Jorge: One thing is to feel and another is to be old Matraca: - like some guys who feel old. Not me. The only thing that's old are the roads... and we're still on them"
