Other mistake: When Reinaldo first meets Lezaro Lima after winning "First Honorable Mention" for the National Book contest, Lezaro tells Reinaldo he can read any five books he wants. Lezaro names titles of books he'd like Reinaldo to read. The subtitle in English on the U.S. region DVD misspells Robert Louis Stevenson, spelling his middle name "Lewis". (00:32:05)
Deliberate mistake: When Reinaldo is narrating right after the police begin to crack down on the gay movement in Havana, he speaks of "sex as a weapon against the regimen". Shouldn't it be the regime? (00:44:20)
