Cast

Production

Sex, Party and Lies is a Tornasol Films and Castafiore Films production. In December 2010, the Ministry of Culture of Spain—then led by Ángeles González Sinde, who had been one of the co-screenwriters of the film five years before becoming minister—granted the film's producing companies €1 million, thus sparking a row of public scrutiny and examination.

Release

The film premiered at the Las Palmas Film Festival in March 2009. Distributed by Sony Pictures, the film was theatrically released in Spain on 27 March 2009. It opened with a box office gross of €1,813,000 in its debut weekend.
