This is a controversial movie due to the fact that it has scenes of full female nudity and sex involving a 12-year old boy played by actor Marcelo Ribeiro, who was 11 at the time.
Xuxa, who plays the prostitute Tamara, would rise to international fame as the host of the Brazilian children's TV show Xou da Xuxa (1988), which was remade as Xuxa (1993). She spent years trying to legally take this film out of circulation, claiming its unfair and inadequate use from distributors and video stores.
The 2nd film which Marcelo Ribeiro plays a 12 year old boy whom has underage sex with an older woman. The other film was Eros, the God of Love (1981).
Marcelo Ribeiro said that unlike his first movie Eros, the God of Love (1981) when they put duct tape on his privates because he couldn't control himself, in this film's sex scenes he had a normal nude "I learned to separate what was work and what was intimate. But of course there's always a joke, an awkward situation ... The movie set is very mystical, you never know what might happen".
