Past Run
Los Frikis
Inspired by true events set against the backdrop of Cuba’s 1990s punk subculture, Los Frikis is a powerful coming-of-age story centering around Gustavo, who idolizes his older brother Paco and his punk band mates. As oppression and extreme poverty tighten their grip, the Frikis take a desperate and defiant stand, making a dangerous decision to gain refuge in a government-run sanatorium. There, in a world meant for isolation, they carve out their own anarchic utopia—an oasis of rock 'n' roll, joy, and freedom.

“The directors honor [the protagonists'] plight by portraying them as an example of how the human spirit perseveres even when nearly crushed.”
— Carlos Aguilar, Variety
