The film, which cost around three million US dollars, received critical acclaim in German-speaking countries. For example, the online culture magazine artifarti says that “the frozen hope of a sad character” experiences “a warming cinematic accentuation”. Renck wrote and sang the title song for the film together with his compatriot Joakim Berg from the band Kent .
