Curiously, the film features a sequence shot of 33 minutes, the longest in the history of Spanish cinema.[1] According to the directors, the actors needed psychological help during the filming because of the difficulty of the scenes.[2] María del Barrio is the nineteen-year-old actress chosen to play the role of Myna, whose performance has been praised and won awards from several international film festivals including the Austin Film Festival and the Naperville Independent Film Festival. In 2011 the film was released in theaters in the United States which include the cities of Minneapolis,[3] Los Angeles,[4] St. Louis,[5] Phoenix,[5] Houston,[6] San Francisco,[7] Dallas,[8] Seattle,[9] Miami,[10] Denver,[11] New York,[12] and Palm Beach.[13]
