Andrés is a frustrated musician still living with his mother and unhappy at his job. To make things worse, he’s kicked out of his band for political differences with the other members. Meanwhile, Venezuela’s economic crisis worsens, and many of his friends flee the country looking for opportunities abroad. One day, he encounters two mysterious masked beings who inspire him to compose music. This debut feature by director Nico Manzano, who also wrote the film’s songs and served as cinematographer, is a deadpan comedy about finding meaning in the least expected of places.
