Production
Laguna developed the premise about the film while listening to the song "Tengo una casa" by the musical band Los Enemigos,[6] that eventually participated in the score of the film, whose plot likewise concerns about a band follower.[7]
The film is an El Deseo production.[6] Laguna explained in an interview that the film was fully shot in the Sierra de Urbasa, near Alsasua, except for a fire scene that did not make the final cut.[8]
Release
For its premiere, the film made it to the film slate of the Madrid Independent Festival, "Festimad".[9] It was released theatrically in Spain on 13 September 1996.[5]
Reception
Fernando Morales of El País recommended the film, deeming it to be "an honest comedy about a group of marginalized people sharing house, friendship love, and a drive for breaking with the past".[10]
