In the scene where young Alejandro’s mother smears his body in black paint then strips herself naked, both Pamela Flores and Jeremias Herskovits were supposed to be totally nude, however Jeremias’s father worked in a school and feared agreeing to a scene where his naked 12-year-old son had his whole body smeared in paint by a naked adult woman would get him sacked. He begged the director to change the script and Jodorowsky agreed to let Jeremias wear underwear for the scene.
