The film's English title is "Eros: The God of Love".
The first film which Marcelo Ribeiro plays a 12 year old boy whom has underage sex with an older woman. A year after this film's release he would play a similar role in Love Strange Love (1982) which his character Hugo, also 12 years old, is seduced by Tamara, played by Xuxa. Both films were written and directed by Walter Hugo Khouri.
Marcelo Ribeiro revealed that he felt horny when playing the sex scene with Kate Lyra, he even used duct tape on his private parts to avoid getting an erection. "In my first film, I didn't really know how to act. They put duct tape "there" because I couldn't control myself. It was difficult," he said.
