Set in 1969 and 1989, against the backdrop of drug-trafficking in the Galician coast, the plot follows three childhood friends (Fins, Leda, and Brinco). Twenty years later, Fins has become a cop, whilst Brinco has become a minion of crime lord Mariscal, with Leda standing between them.[1]
The film is a Tornasol Films, Castafiore Films, Milú Films, Zebra Producciones and Foresta Films production.[3] Shooting began in Galicia on 29 August 2011.[4] It later moved to the Ciudad de la Luz studio in Alicante.[4]
The film opened the 57th Valladolid International Film Festival (Seminci) on 20 October 2012.[5] Distributed by Alta Films,[6] it was released theatrically in Spain on 9 November 2012.
Boyd van Hoeij of Variety deemed the film to be "a dud" and "a juiceless adaptation", with the script failing "to develop a dramatic undertow that ties the film's two incongruous halves together", "impeccable" period detail notwithstanding.[1]
Sergio F. Pinilla rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, underscoring it to be "a love triangle story without angles or enough punch".[7]
