The film was presented at the 19th Málaga Film Festival on 24 April 2016.[6] Distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing de España, it was released theatrically in Spain on 10 June 2016.
Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, highlighting the nearly entire cast as the best thing about the film, while citing the feel of déjà vu left by the denouement as a negative point.[7]
Jordi Costa of El País wrote that the "actors shine, but as jet engines crammed into a second-hand utility vehicle and condemned to run through clichés".[8]
