Production

The project was originally known as in Spanish as Se acabó la fiesta, but the title was swiftly changed upon the creation of the far-right political party of the same name.[6] The film is a Spanish-Belgian co-production by La Claqueta PC and Perdición Films alongside La Cruda Realidad, Think Studio, Story Capital AIE and Menuetto Films, with the participation of TVE, Movistar Plus+, and Canal Sur, and backing from ICAA, AAIICC [es], Creative Europe MEDIA, and Eurimages.[2][7] Belén Atienza Azcona [es], Olmo Figueredo González-Quevedo, and Sandra Hermida Muñiz took over production duties, with Sara Gómez and Inés Mas executively producing.[8] The film was shot in Chucena.[9]

Release

The film world premiered in the 'Discovery' programme lineup of the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).[10][11] It had its Spanish premiere at the 69th Valladolid International Film Festival (Seminci) in October 2024.[12] Its festival run also included selections at the Seville European Film Festival (SEFF) and the Almería International Film Festival (FICAL).[13][6] It is scheduled to be released theatrically in Spain on 31 January 2025.[7]

Reception

Alfonso Rivera of Cineuropa wrote that the film "stands as a fresh-feeling film with a mischievousness that is more than welcome in modern cinema".[2]

Philipp Engel of Cinemanía rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be "fresh, pinpoint and hilarious".[14]
