Production 
A film adaptation of Joaquín Leguina's novel Tu nombre envenena mis sueños, the screenplay was penned by Ricardo Franco and Pilar Miró. The film was produced by Sogetel/Central de Producciones Audiovisuales and it had the participation of Sogepaq and Canal Plus. Javier Aguirresarobe  was responsible for cinematography, José Nieto for the music, and  for film editing. Rafael Díaz-Salgado, José Luis Olaizola and Fernando de Garcillán were credited as producers. Release 
The film was presented at the 44th San Sebastián International Film Festival in September 1996, the same year as The Dog in the Manger, another film directed by Miró, who would die about a year later. Distributed by UIP, it opened in Spanish theatres on 27 September 1996. Reception 
David Rooney of Variety deemed the film to be a "mediocre period detective thriller", "more sleep-inducing than intoxicating". Augusto Martínez Torres of El País considered that the story would have probably been more interesting if it had focused on developing the (richer) personality of the woman, rather than on the point of view of the man.
