O primeiro longa-metragem de Raúl Ruiz foi considerado perdido por décadas, até que seus rolos mudos incompletos foram encontrados em um cinema de Santiago. O trabalho do autor chileno foi continuado por sua viúva e editora de longa data, Valeria Sarmiento, também uma cineasta subversiva e brilhante.
