The plot revolves around a house in a Cantabrian village owned by Doña Lola, from which a series of intertwined subplots spawn. Lola and her niece Clementina agree on hosting a Bosnian refugee child (sabotaged by impostor kid Bartolomé), an old fisherman and Lola's friend (Colo) finds a drug cache nearby, the former house owner's son tries to evict Lola, and Clementina develops a romance with a lawyer (Valerio).
The film was produced by Urbana Films alongside Sogepaq.[4] It was shot in Cantabria.[5]
Selected in the 45th San Sebastián International Film Festival's official selection, the film premiered in September 1997.[6][4] Distributed by Lauren Films,[4] it was theatrically released in Spain on 3 October 1997.[2]
Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the film to be Camus' best for some years, "a complex but uncomplicated, lyrical but hard-edged adventure-cum-mood piece, with the kind of luminous maturity and compassion to seduce offshore arthouse auds".[4]
Ángel Fernández-Santos of El País considered that Camus manages to "firmly hold on a fairly complex but fragile storyline", with the result of a "noble and solid Spanish film".[6]
