It was produced by Juan Gona.[1] García León co-wrote the screenplay withJonás Trueba.[2] The film received twoGoya Award nominations, winning one award (Best Actor).
The plot follows the dysfunctional relationship between two markedly selfish individuals, Santiago (an aging thespian) and Guillermo (the former's freeloading son).[3][4][2]

The film screened at the 54thSan Sebastián International Film Festival in September 2006.[7] Soon after, on 29 September, it opened in Spanish theatres.[4]
Deborah Young ofVariety 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".[2]
Mirito Torreiro ofFotogramas 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.[4]
