Trivia

At the beginning of the film Vázquez lives in the flat roof of an almost ruined building. The building it's a nod for "13, Rue del Percebe", one of the most well-known creations of Ibáñez that it's a building with all kind of outrageous neighbors, between them a debtor in the flat roof (Vázquez is accurately a debtor in the movie).
