Production background

The film, directed by Miguel Zacarías, retells the biblical story of Adam and Eve. Mexican actor Jorge Rivero played Adam, while newcomer Candice 'Candy' Wilson played Eve. There are no other actors in the film. The movie is largely silent, with the actors gesturing and calling each other's names to communicate. The film has some opening narration, as well as the voice of God saying a few phrases from the heavens.

The film gained notoriety because Rivero and Wilson appear nude throughout most of the film.^[2]
