Plot

The plot concerns a journey back to childhood (during the Summer of 1984) by means of a flashback brought by the memories of a disenchanted publicist (Sala) upon meeting with Cristina, that runs parallel to the subplot in the present time.[1][2]

Reception

Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, highlighting "the clarity (and ability) with which it seeks its audience", while citing its certain sappiness as a negative point.[7]

Andrea G. Bermejo of Cinemanía rated it 4 out of 5 stars, welcoming a Spanish film taking a deep dive into a childhood that is neither marginal nor traumatic.[2]

Jordi Costa of El País wrote that even if Freixas and Espinosa's work dives into sheer cliché and cheesiness, it ends up emerging as "a solid commercial product".[8]

Jonathan Holland of Variety considered that "more emotion than sentimentality comes through, despite some string-pulling" in a picture otherwise "all about laughter, tears and kids on bicycles riding through dappled forests".[9]
