Production

Rafaela Aparicio, Fernando Fernán Gómez, and Concha Velasco were originally intended to portray Tata, Teo, and Elvira, but they had to decline. Borau later argued that Imperio, Landa, and Maura represented by themselves three eras of Spanish cinema. Shooting locations included Mallos de Riglos and an apartment at the Calle de Alfonso XII near El Retiro.
