Production

Principal photography took place in February 2015[2] in Mexico City and Houston.[5] The film language is entirely in Enlgish for international marketing purposes.[6] Actress Mónica Sánchez Navarro acted with both of her daughters in the film.[7] Marie Adler says the film is "timely and relevant" due to the Latin American immigration laws.[8] In an interview, Santander talked about writing the female characters in the script "strong and independent."[9]
