For her performance Giulia Boschi, at her film debut, [3] was awarded as best actress at the Rio de Janeiro Film Festival [4] and won a Silver Ribbon for best new actress. [5]
The film is loosely based on the autobiographical experiences of the director, depicting her relationship with journalist Carlo Rivolta (1949 –1982) and their struggles with heroin addiction. [6]
Italian critic Tullio Kezich noted: "Viewers are touched by an often painful sincerity, which contrasts with the film's overly polished execution". [6]
