All 4 facts
- 1
Canelita, the true protagonist
The cow that stars in the film and plays Tona is actually called Canelita, and she is a "very loving" cow, recalls Isabel Rocatti.

Pregnancy at the Wrong Time(Note: Depending on context, this could also be translated as "Unplanned Pregnancy," "Mistimed Pregnancy," or "Pregnancy at an Inconvenient Time." The literal translation is "Pregnancy at the Wrong Time.")
Interestingly, Canelita also became pregnant during filming, just like her character Tona. However, this happened at a different time, so her natural childbirth couldn't be used for the shoot.

Staged childbirth
Although Canelita was also pregnant in real life, due to scheduling her childbirth was staged on camera, achieving quite surprising realism in the result.

Screenwriter Cow
One of the directors, Miguel Llorens, reveals the difficulty of getting the cow to do what they wanted, which is why they opted for almost the opposite approach: letting Canelita do as she pleased and then adapting the script to her actions.
