Claudia Pandolfi was concerned about appearing naked in the sex scene with Edoardo Gabbriellini. Director Paolo Virzì reassured her, assuring her that she would never appear unclothed. But it was a trick: at the time of the shoot, he slipped off the towel covering her bottom, and framed her completely naked. Recalls Pandolfi: "I was straddling Edo, and Paolo had the towel removed. I felt betrayed, turned the scene around, but after the stop I started crying, and I yelled at him. He laughed. Do you understand who Virzi is? He left me mercilessly naked in front of the whole crew. Then I got over it. It was all in function of the film, I understood later, and I will thank him forever."
