Trivia:
Although the first part of the film is set in Colombia, it was actually filmed in Ecuador.

The film originally had been selected by Colombia to be its official choice for the 77th Academy Awards. It was rejected because it was considered to be not Colombian enough and the film "El Rey" by the Dorado Brothers was submitted instead.

At the end there is an Intel ad saying "It's what's inside that counts", a clear reference to the movie's subject.

This is Catalina Sandino Moreno film debut. An anonymous admirer who had seen her in a play told her mother about the open casting call.

Catalina Sandino Moreno became the first actress ever to be nominated to Best Actress at the Oscars for a role that it is spoken entirely in Spanish.
