CGiii Comment
A punk-loving teen has a religious epiphany following the suicide of his punk-singing idol.
Yes...the music is horrific.
But...what is even more horrific is the camera-work - constantly moving and, for the most part, out-of-focus.
The writing is sparse, the direction is laconic. A dreary debut from Prado.
Perhaps, this would have worked better as a short...there is a seed of an interesting story! Sadly, the talent wasn't there to make it flourish.

The(ir) Blurb...
Shy teenager Andrés lives in the Argentine city of La Plata and cycles between school, work and home listening to punk rock. One night he finds out that his idol, the lead singer of his favorite band, has committed suicide. His religious mother is worried about him and takes him to the local evangelic church, where he, without putting up much resistance, joins a youth group. Here he meets Alex, the cool guitarist of a band practicing upstairs, and is instantly drawn to him.
