 SPOILER: To prepare the Runt (Caixa Baixa gang) for the scene in  which he cries when Zé Pequeno shoots him in the foot, (acting  coach) Fátima Toledo worked with the child (who had never acted  before) and discovered his biggest fear was having a toothache. So,  when the time came to shoot the scene, she told him to just remember  his toothache, and when he was shot in the foot, to pretend his  toothache pain had moved to his foot.
