The poem that Arnold reads to Gloria is called "For a Young Friend Who Tried to Take His Own Life" by Chilean poet Claudio Bertoni.
The role of Jeremy was originally written for Corey Feldman. Due to a shooting conflict, Feldman passed on the role and offered it to Sean Astin, a close friend of his.
English version remake of the Chilean film, Gloria, from the same director.
The role of Swedish "Theo" is played by Jesse Erwin, a California born actor with no Swedish family or known ancestry. The production didn't advice an accent coach which is why "Theo's" sounds nothing like Swedish, rather a blend of Germanic-French.
John Tuturro and Julianne Moore also appeared in O Grande Lebowski (1998) and O Quarto ao Lado (2024).
