Controversy[edit]
After its premiere, congresswoman Milagros Jáuregui de Aguayo of Renovación Popular spoke out against the film on social networks because, according to her, "evangelical believers are mentioned in a derogatory and negative way, which notoriously promotes religious discrimination ", and sent a letter to the Minister of Culture Gisela Ortiz asking for explanations about the financing and cultural contribution of the production.[6] The director Wesley Verástegui responded to the parliamentarian that it is the members of his evangelical community who discriminate against the LGBT community.[7]
