Many lines are composites taken from real life quotes, and some can be seen in Barker's documentary Sergio (2009). The events depicted in the film are also narrated in Samantha Power's book 'Sergio: One Man's Fight to Save the World', in which the movie is based upon. One of those is the scene in which Carolina goes to Sergio's house in Dili and discovers that he has filled it with candles and paper hearts. As Power recounts in the book: "[Larriera] let herself in through the side door and found a row of candles leading her from the doorway to the living room. Sprinkled on the floor were paper hearts that he had cut out of colored construction paper. "From now on, it's the new Sergio!" he said, emerging. Larriera was skeptical. "I have changed," he said. "And I will change. Don't believe me. Watch me." From that point on, the couple referred to their relationship before his October turnaround as their "prehistory." "History," he said, "begins today."
