Synopsis

When a misguided American documentary crew in search of their next viral segment ends up in the wrong town in rural Argentina, chaos ensues. As they collaborate with locals to fake a new music trend, unexpected relationships form and an unfolding health crisis becomes apparent.

Our take

Things get weird in Amalia Ulman’s kaleidoscopic film, a colorful comedy of errors and an imaginative send-up of millennial media. Starring Simon Rex and Chloë Sevigny, this story of a frantic search for an internet sensation is electrified by wit, subversion, and distinctively fluorescent style.
