The only professional actors who starred in the film were Veronika Logan and Fabrizio Rizzolo. The rest of the cast had little or no acting experience, and were involved in the project only shortly before production started.
The director Ricky Re would show each page of the script for the first time to the actors, accordingly to what day of production it was. Before that, the cast would only be able to read the treatment of the film, for the sole purpose of understanding the storyline.
