The two-dimensional Ising model with competing short range ferromagnetic interactions and long range antiferromagnetic interactions is perhaps the most simple one containing the minimal microscopic ingredients necessary for an appropriate description of the macroscopic properties of ultrathin films and quasi--two--dimensional magnetic materials. Despite such relative simplicity, the frustration introduced by the competition between interactions generates complex behaviors that have eluded, up to now, a complete understanding of its general properties. In this work we review recent advances in the understanding of both equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of the model. This includes a detailed description of several known properties of the thermodynamical phase diagram, as well as the existence of several types of metastable states and their influence in the low temperature dynamics.
