Interests

When after school brawls, trips to the arcade, and dirty magazine trading start to lose their lustre, best friends Carlos and Gera convince Gera’s feminist/anarchist older sister Rita to let them tag along to her synth band’s next show. The underground gay club where she performs provides the gateway to an enticing world of illicit drugs, naked art protests, pansexual experimentation, and queer revelations.

Also starring Oscar nominee Marina de Tavira (Roma), Hari Sama’s Sundance Film Festival stunner features an electric post-punk/new wave soundtrack that brings this vivid, arresting time capsule to life.
