Trivia

"Polaróides Urbanas" is the movie adaptation of the hit Brazilian play (1 million tickets) "Como Encher um Biquíni Selvagem", both written by Miguel Falabella, who makes his debut as film director here. The title of the play translates as "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini", though the plot has nothing to do with the identically titled 1963 'Annette Funnicello' movie.
