Trivia
The title refers to an incident the director had on her commute walking along the highway to work. At a petting zoo on her route, a donkey and a llama were physically attracted to each other even though they are of different species. The story is used as an allegory for teenagers not knowing what to do with their sexuality in a culture where sex-ed is taboo.
