Chus Gutiérrez uses a road movie format to combine criminal tension with modern dating app interactions. The story challenges traditional romantic stability and moral rectitude by focusing on a deceptive partnership. The film's strength lies in its subversion of traditional gender roles, giving Vera an active role rather than a passive one. However, the film lacks visible multi-layered complexity, with a focus on a standard Spanish demographic and no clear indication of LGBTQ+ or disability representation.
