The genuineness of the scene in which Iremar, played by Juliano Cazarré, has sex with the young pregnant woman, played by Samya De Lavor is disputed. The director Gabriel Mascaro asked Cazarré to have an erection at the beginning of the scene. Cazarré said the sex was simulated. Mascaro said he was standing far from the action, so he could not see and he did not ask the actors how they performed it, but he admitted the result "is very persuasive" and done in only one take. More, talking about the camera position, he said that "The sex scene with the pregnant woman, if we were one step ahead, it would become a totally porn film".
There are two very explicit scenes in the film that Juliano Cazarré had trouble shooting. In the scene where he had to masturbate a horse, he was sure that Gabriel Mascaro had planned to use a prosthesis. Instead, when the director told him that he would have to actually touch the horse's penis, he refused to continue unless Mascaro did the same first. So in the end they both masturbated the horse.
The other scene that caused Cazarré great embarrassment was the one in which he had to have sex with Samya De Lavor, who was really 8 months pregnant. Mascaro asked Cazarré to have an erection at the beginning of the scene, suggesting that he wanted the sex to be real. Cazarré didn't want to do it ("I'm not a porn actor," he said), also because he knew De Lavor's husband (Demick Lopes, also an actor), with whom he had worked in Bald Mountain (2013).
For the role of Geise, director Gabriel Mascaro wanted a woman who was about eight months pregnant. So for the auditions they were called actresses who were already expectant and who would reach eight months pregnant during the shoot.
