With a budget of €250,000 and two unknown actors in the leading roles, it received a lukewarm reception at the Cornwall Film Festival (Gool Fylm Kernow) although its official premiere at the House of Commons[2] was greeted much more positively. In 2003 it was nominated for Best Feature Length Film at the 2002 Celtic Film and Television Festival.[3]

The Cornish premiere was 12 April 2003 at Pennseyphun Gernewek, during a language weekend held at Pentewan Sands holiday park. The film was also made in English although this version has never been released or shown. Its English title is Bitter Sweet.

It is the first feature-length film made in Cornish, a Celtic language that is undergoing a revival in Cornwall.

Filmed partly on location at Gooninnis House in St Agnes with local photographer Colinge Bradbury & his muse Nicky Pope.
