The film, a tale of a dwindling professional football star and his son was released on December 15, 1953[3][4] in Normandie cinema in Buenos Aires.

The cast involved major professional football players of the time as Mario Boyé, Tucho Méndez and Ángel Labruna and journalists such as Fioravanti.

[8][9] Jorge Miguel Couselo in his 1984 book Historia del cine argentino remarked that "despite a poor script, [the film] showed seriousness" and praised the talent and performance by Oscar Rovito playing the son.

[10] Ricardo Oliveri in his 1997 book Cine argentino: crónica de 100 años concurred that Rovito had contributed a good performance and described the film as an "agreeable product".

[11] The Institute de Literatura Argentina highlighted the strong presence of the father and son in the film and noted its neorealist elements and charge.
