Production & Film Restoration
Director Pedro Sienna selected the cast from people that he found on the street.[2] The film was considered lost until 1959, when it was found in deplorable condition and with some title cards incomplete, but thanks to Pedro Sienna's own supervision,[3] the film was restored in 1962 by Cineteca de la Universidad de Chile, with music by Sergio Ortega[2] (with the Chilean government help).
