The action takes place on a fictional island in the Caribbean, which would belong to Spain (in the film it points to Portugal, because Spain was going through a military regime and the director was afraid that the film would be censored). The plot is based, in part, on the history of Haiti. The original script referred to a Spanish island, and this can be confirmed by the fact that most of the characters keep their Spanish names, like José Dolores instead of the correct José das Dores. Therefore, the film can be seen as an example of ethnic and linguistic stereotyping in relation to Portugal.
