This film offers a fresh and contemporary perspective on the romantic comedy genre, emphasizing genuine emotional experiences and the complexities of modern relationships. The production team, including Santiago López from Cimarrón, Dolores Llosas from Concreto Films, and Peter Bevan from Particular Crowd, expressed immense pride in the project, praising Taratuto's distinctive directorial voice and the exceptional performances of Bernal and Oreiro. They anticipate the film's honest and intimate storytelling will deeply resonate with audiences across Latin America and globally, reflecting a collective trust in its potential to reach every corner of the world.
