It is one of Icíar Bollaín's most ambitious films, internationally co-produced film by companies from Spain, Mexico and France. Shot in Bolivia, in the Chapare jungle, and in the city of Cochabamba, the film is a large production with more than 4,000 extras in total, with about 300 of the extras being indigenous people, as well as a team of 130 people and more than 70 locations, almost all of them outdoors. The film received nominations and awards internationally, including an Ariel Award for Best Ibero-American Film and three Goya Awards.
