    Rodrigo Romero, the protagonist of the film, is not a professional actor; he instead worked as a bricklayer. He got to know about the casting for the film through Facebook and, being a big fan of "El Potro", sent his photo to the filmmakers. He couldn't believe it when he was chosen for the lead character.
