The plot, starting in Madrid in 1975, follows Sandra, Lina and Eva, three actresses with different backgrounds working in Cine 'S' (erotic films) productions during the so-called Transition.[2][3]
Susana Estrada features in a cameo.[8]
The film was produced by The Little Jiraffe and Antena 3 Films and it had the participation of Antena 3.[5]
Distributed by Universal Pictures International Spain,[5] the film was theatrically released in Spain on 24 October 2008.
Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the film to be "an affectionate, if clumsy, X-ray of the period" [immediately after the death of dictator Franco] in which the sinking soap-opera-like final stretch is compensated by a trio of strong performances and "the sheer fascination of watching a decent portrayal of a society in transition".[5]
Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, highlighting an "impeccable lead trio" as the best thing about the film, while citing an "improvable screenplay" as a negative point.[7]
