The actors were practically naked in their primitive costumes, and their ability to focus on the script was very low. Furthermore, the mist from the waterfall was constantly getting the camera lenses wet and it was impossible to shoot at certain angles and distances. Many scenes could only be shot in “one take”, and the tension level was high and we were all stressed out. In short, it was a real challenge.

Of course, all this happening to him made his performance even more credible. Do you want to know if we won this challenge? Watch the video to find out!”
