The film proved to be a critical failure and a commercial flop.[1]
The plot tracks the friendship between a pedantic homosexual poet and an unemployed typographer.
Written by Rafael Azcona, the screenplay is an adaptation of the 1995 novel Diario de un jubilado by Miguel Delibes.[2] The film is a Lolafilms, Cartel, and Vía Digital production.[3]
The film opened the 1st Málaga Film Festival in May 1998.[4] Distributed by Columbia Tri-Star Films de España,[5] it was released theatrically in Spain on 12 June 1998.
Casimiro Torreiro of El País wrote that "the film is not a marvel, but among its images there emerges at least a dignity of well-practiced craft that saves it from ridicule".[6]
