Plot
The plot follows the dysfunctional relationship between two markedly selfish individuals, Santiago (an aging thespian) and Guillermo (the former's freeloading son).

Production
A Gona Cine y TV production, the film was shot in Madrid, even if most of the production crew was from Asturias.

Release
The film screened at the 54th San Sebastián International Film Festival in September 2006. Soon after, on 29 September, it opened in Spanish theatres.

Reception
Deborah Young of Variety presented the film (a "bitter satire") as "a surprisingly classical piece of filmmaking boasting solidity, but little edge", assessing it to be "entertaining, occasionally poignant".

Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, drawing out the acting duel between the two Juan Diegos as the best thing about the film.
