To make the 7 minute 43 second film, Pessoa's drawings were transferred to glossy paper, brushed with India ink, scratched with a blade to give the effect of an engraving, then photographed.
National Film Board of Canada film composer
Normand Roger supplied the score for the film. The film was the second in a trilogy of animated shorts by Pessoa about childhood, between
A Noite (1999) and
Kali the Little Vampire. ==Reception==
