It took four years for the film to be produced and filmed due to financial problems.[1] TVN joined the production after paying $15,000.[2] The same television channel aired it in 1998, setting low ratings.
Critics rate the film as "the worst fiction in Chilean cinema".[2] Through the years, it was transformed into a "cult film".[3]
