Reception
Nstor, writing in 'Esqui' wrote: "Well-intentioned and with a certain moralizing tendency... the liberality of modernist customs contrasts with the modesty and purity of the traditional family habits".
Rafael Granados opined: "Mario David constructs a sensitive film, whose images are spoken softly". In their 2001 book ' Un diccionario de films argentinos (1930-1995)', Ral Manrupe and Mara Alejandra Portela describe the film as a "discreet effort to get away from an industry in crisis, in a difficult time not only for the cinema".
