Reception
The film premiered on 22 August 1974 in Buenos Aires.[1] It was poorly received by critics, with La Nación describing it as a "Tedious history of infidelities… A long and slow comment on the inconsistency of unfaithful love". El Cronista Comercial remarked that there was "total inconsistency", while La Razón stated that "most of the development of the film is summarized in the image of Puig driving his car".[3]
