When life is shattered. The whole film shows a typical picture for Spanish cinema of the 1980s and 1990s of the burning of life by guys who, it would seem, everything is fine: they are young, beautiful, they are loved by parents, friends, but still they manage to lower their lives in a disco toilet under the unfading rhythms of rock and roll.
“Sex, drugs, rock and roll!” – in Spanish cinema this motto often acquires a simple, sometimes naive flair of romance. So it happened in this film, because Carlos (Juan Diego Botto) is just a confused teenager, selfish, who has learned the joys of permissiveness and at the same time is terribly lonely. The moment of his experience of the death of his grandfather, when he does not know how to vent his pain, is indicative. Many actors in the film are debutants who very clearly showed their talent, for example, who later became very famous Hordi Molia or Eduardo Noriega, noticeable even in a cameo role.
For me, such films are an indicator of the problems of society, which twenty, thirty years ago were expressed somewhat brighter, but now have become deeper.
