The film premiered at the 3rdMálaga Film Festival in May 2000.[9] It was released theatrically in Spain on 4 May 2001.[10]
Jonathan Holland ofVariety deemed the film to be "well meaning but as fatally flawed as the characters who drive it".[8]
Mirito Torreiro ofEl País highlighted a "superb" performance by Ingrid Rubio, but pointed out at flaws worth mentioning, such as the film getting lost in trying to be credible vis-à-vis the resolution of the hostage crisis.[9]
