The film was produced by Andrés Vicente Gómez's Lolafilms, and it had the participation of TVE and Vía Digital.[6] Set to start filming, Suárez announced his film to be primarily a western ("although it will also have that perverse mix of genres that I like so much").[7] It was shot around Llanes, Asturias, including the beaches of Toró, Barru and Borizu.[8]
Release
Reception
Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the film to be "an accomplished, surprisingly low-key historical piece", with "a strong, high-profile cast of solid pros" breathing "convincing life into a delicate, resonant and surprisingly contemporary little parable", otherwise with the director's "tendency toward the histrionic" being "kept under control".[6]
