The film had its theatrical premiere in the Discovery program at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival,[2] before having its first screening in Slovenia at the Festival of Slovenian Film.[4] It won several awards at the Festival of Slovenian Film, including Best Director, Best Actor (Zemljič), Best Supporting Actor (Šturbej), the Audience Award and the Slovenian Film Critics' Jury Award.[5]
