Although the plot revolves around love determination, the original title refers to "money" instead, which serve as instrumental, quoting a term commonly used in the region amongst gypsies - "lóve".[3] In English therefore, "Falling in Money", "Love Deal" or "Dirty Love", could be used as apt equivalents for the title.

Despite the mixed reviews upon its theatrical release, the work has been ranked amongst the highest-grossing films in the Slovak-cinema era, placing at number three as of November 2014.[1]
