[2] The screenplay is an adaptation of the 1973 novel Mararía by Rafael Arozarena,[5] featuring substantial changes from the original work, such as the reduction in the number of males courting the character Mararía to 2, the characters portrayed by Gómez and Glen, the latter of which is an amalgamation of two characters from the novel.
