The film contains a number of choreographed dance numbers set in the firehouse, and blends in deliberate anachronisms such as Alfredo directly quoting parts of Greta Thunberg's 2019 speech to the United Nations when trying to defend his choice to his disapproving family even though the film is set in 2011.[3]
The film's cast also includes Joel Branco, Oceano Cruz, Margarida Vila-Nova, Miguel Loureiro, Dinis Vila-Nova, Luisa Castelo Branco, Vasco Redondo, Teresa Madruga, Ana Bustorff, João Mota, Paulo Bragança, Anabela Moreira, Raquel Rocha Vieira, Cláudia Jardim, Joana Barrios and João Villas-Boas.
