It is expected to be released theatrically in Argentina on 13 November 2025 by Cinetren.[10][11]

Reception

Jon Frosch of The Hollywood Reporter deemed the film to be "a lush, hypnotic character study".[12]

Guy Lodge of Variety wrote that the film is "elevated by its meticulous, silkily textured formal construction".[3]

William Repass of Slant Magazine rated the film out of 4 stars, assessing that the picture offers a "view of mental illness as a sensitivity not wholly pathological, but rather capable of reframing and refreshing the world".[13]

Olivia Popp of Cineuropa singled out the film's "dedication to emphasising, in an unexpected way, how generational trauma manifests itself" as its strongest thematic throughline.[2]
