The Endless Night is an attempt at exploring the events that took place during the unfortunate Brazilian nightclub fire of 2013. This miniseries is a stunning representation of how events led to the tragedy and the aftermath of the fire. It shows how corrupt police officers in Brazil were ordered to shut relatives of the victims in an attempt to quiet down the protests. It also reveals how the guilty never spent more than a few weeks in jail for being the reason behind the horrific incident. Some say that this is one of the best Brazilian series in a long time, given its brilliant production, superb dialogues, and impactful scenes that make everyone think. The Brazilian justice system is fully exposed through monologues and interviews by survivors and close kin of the victims.
Although smoke inhalation has been credited for it, most victims of the Kiss nightclub fire actually perished from exposure to cyanide gas released in the blaze. This chemical was produced by the burning of the soundproofing foam on the ceiling, contributing to the high number of fatalities.
The Kiss Nightclub fire is deemed one of Brazil's deadliest, sharing striking similarities with the Station fire in Rhode Island (the years prior), the Cocoanut Grove fire in Boston and the Lame Horse Fire in Kiev, Russia. All these tragedies were caused by inadequate use of fire or pyrotechnics, which generated ignition of flammable material.
Grazi's character and plot are inspired by survivor Kelen Ferreira, who had her leg amputated and suffered severe burns at Kiss. Though she chose to not testify to Daniela Arbex's book on which this series is based, Ferreira supported production from the start. Grazi is played by Paola Antonini (a real life amputee), in her acting debut.
Production specifically decided to not film any scenes on real locations.
According to Miguel Roncato, the scenes prior to the fire were more difficult to film. "It gets a lot more complicated to shoot happy moments, because we know the outcomes and feel what those people felt on that moment".
