The producers sought to release the film as part of the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival.

Subsequently, Leonardo Ortizgris and Julieta Zylberberg joined the cast, which is completed by Sergio Hernández, Luis Gnecco and Amparo Noguera. At the same time it was reported that two musicians and songwriters from Argentina and Chile would take care of the music, the incidental music would be in charge of Pedro Aznar and the arrangement and selection of songs (a fundamental part of the entire work) would be handled by Manuel García. In 2019, it was announced that after signing a pre-agreement, the filming would begin with director Rodrigo Sepúlveda and a cast headed by the Chilean actor Alfredo Castro (according to Lemebel's own wishes). There was much speculation about the problems among everyone involved in what the producer once called his "most ambitious project to date." Complications reached a very high point after Lemebel's death in 2015. There were many reasons that postponed the project, including lack of funding, disagreements between parts, film rights, authorship of the script, etc.

Director Rodrigo Sepúlveda and Lemebel himself were strongly involved.
