It screened at many international film festivals, including Cannes Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and Maryland Film Festival. The film was released on DVD by Kino International on 30 November 2010. The cinematography was by Lucio Bonelli.
The film follows Farrel, a merchant seaman who applies for leave in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego to visit his mother in his home village after twenty years away. Farrel is played by Juan Fernndez, a native of Ushuaia who drives a snow plow for a living.
The 'LA Times' called it a "bold, successful attempt at a film narrative in which images are everything and words are few." The 'New York Times' concluded that "Although it has its visual pleasures, and theres plenty to admire about his compositions, the journey in Liverpool seems comparatively slight". 'Variety' felt that the "[b]rilliance of the overall conception and execution will immediately hit some viewers, while others may need to mull things over."
