[edit] Reception
The movie was mostly praised by critics with some reviewers, such as Dennis Harvey of Variety Magazine, commenting on the film; "Writer-helmer Darko Mitrevski keeps pushing the envelope... The cynical, hallucinatory, modern Pilgrim's Progress is a trip, with memorably out-there sequences sure to build a cult rep among adventuresome cineastes."

The film was seen by over 500,000 people in the Republic of Macedonia in the first year of its release, making it the most viewed film in Macedonian history. It is also the highest-grossing film to date in the Republic of Macedonia.
