Several of the supporting characters in the film are based on real people who experienced the Videla era and Pinochet's 1973 coup. Neruda's then-wife Delia del Carril lived to be 104 years old, and died in 1989: the comment in the narration about her possibly living another four decades was accurate. Her house in Santiago (164 Avenida Lynch) is now a museum and cultural center. Alvaro (Alvaro Fernando Jara Hantke) who organized the effort to hide Pablo and Delia, was then a student in his twenties - he later became a respected historian, dying in 1998 at age 75. Victor (Victor Pey), the young Spanish-born engineer who offered his small apartment as a hiding place for the couple, helped copy and distribute Neruda's work - he survived until 2018, age 103.
