Los Nadie (The Nobodies)

by Juan Sebastián Mesa

Synopsis

Camilo, Mechas, Manu, Ana and Pipa are five friends who live a non-conforming life in Medellin. Their punkish lifestyle is at the same time a protest and a renewed discourse addressing and resisting the cultural limitations of their time.

Music, street art and friendship are their weapons of resistance, hoping for a rite of passage that could transform them into someone else.
