Plot

Release

[edit]

The film had its world premiere at the Miami Film Festival in March 2020 rather than the intended Málaga Film Festival premiere, owing to the cancellation (eventually postponement) of the latter in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.[8][5] It also screened as the opening film in the 4th BCN Film Fest.[9][5] Distributed by A Contracorriente Films, it was theatrically released in Spain on 18 September 2020.[10]

Reception

[edit]

Andrea G. Bermejo of Cinemanía rated the film 4 out 5 stars, deeming it to be a "magnificent film" for several reasons, including "a great script that vindicates the power of education"[11]

Alberto Bermejo of El Mundo also scored 4 out of 5 stars praising "the originality of the writing and the sense of authenticity given off by the images and the behavior of the protagonists".[12]

Jordi Batlle Caminal of Fotogramas rated it 3 out of 5 stars, highlighting Verdaguer's "credible and close" performance while citing the accumulation of clichés from the educational film genre as a negative point.[13]
