Voices for the couple were supplied by Gordon Pinsent and Alberta Watson.

" The Spine" was produced by the National Film Board of Canada in association with Copperheart Animation and C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures, with the creative participation of Autodesk Canada and Seneca College's School of Communication Arts.

Mariana Alcoforado
Sóror Mariana Alcoforado( Santa Maria da Feira, Beja, 22 April 1640 Beja, 28 July 1723) was a Portuguese nun living in the convent of the Poor Clares( Convento de Nossa Senhora da Conceição," Convent of Our Lady of the Conception") in Beja, Portugal.
Debate continues as to whether Mariana was the real Portuguese author of the" Letters of a Portuguese Nun"( comprising five letters).
Her purported love affair with the French officer Noël Bouton, Marquis de Chamilly and later Marshal of France, has made Beja famous in literary circles, mainly in Portugal and France.
Some literary scholars consider the letters a fictional work and their authorship is ascribed to Gabriel- Joseph de Lavergne, comte de Guilleragues( 1628 – 1684), although a real nun named Mariana Alcoforado indeed existed.
In her recent book" Letters of a Portuguese Nun: Uncovering the Mystery Behind a Seventeenth- Century Forbidden Love"( 2006), the author Myriam Cyr has attempted to reassert the attribution of the letters to the real Mariana Alcoforado.
