Production

Release

The film landed its world premiere in the 'Midnight' slate of the Tribeca Festival on 8 June 2023.[2] It also screened on 21 October 2023 at the Albacete-based for its Spanish premiere.[3] Distributed by #Conunpack, it opened in Spanish theatres on 1 December 2023.

Reception

Alfonso Rivera of Cineuropa wrote that the "unexpected turn" in the film's second part constitutes a "proper right hook" "to the most sacred of things, which will please the viewer in search of new (and powerful) emotions in these times steeped in sickly sweetness, insipidness, our addiction to 'likes' and political correctness".[4]
