À boa maneira surrealista, não sei por que razão tive a súbita vontade de fazer um "cadavre exquis". Os realizadores Lucas Tavares e Regina Guimarães aceitaram o desafio e a Hélastre organizou a produção.

Cada autor trabalhou sem conhecer absolutamente nada dos projetos dos seus parceiros de filme, havendo apenas dois elementos unificadores: um par de jovens atores e o espaço "As Casas do Visconde", em Canas de Senhorim.

O Saguenail assegurou a montagem transversal.

In good surrealist fashion, I can't explain why I had the sudden urge to produce an "exquisite corpse". Directors Lucas Tavares and Regina Guimarães accepted the challenge and Hélastre organized the production.

Each author worked without knowing absolutely anything about their film partners' projects, and there were only two unifying elements: a pair of young actors and the space "As Casas do Visconde", in Canas de Senhorim.

Saguenail secured the transversal editing.
