In Spain, during the recent Malaga Film Festival it was awarded four prizes: Best Film, Best Direction, Best Actress and the Prize of the Prize of the Audience.

The film also won the Prize for Best Film in the Latin American Film Festival of Huelva, Section Rabida, and it was one of the five films competing for the Best Film of the Goya Prize.
