Maru, a 15-year-old loner, meets Roman, the reckless son of a corrupt right wing politician. United by their desire to fight the inertia they feel surrounds them, the two lovebirds embark on a revolt against the adult world when they decide to run away to a place free of other people’s expectations.

A playful homage to Jean-Luc Godard’s 1965 classic Pierrot le fou, this tale of teenage disenfranchisement and sexual awakening carries a kinetic charge. From a fake kidnapping to a Bonnie & Clyde-style rampage, director Gerardo Naranjo energetically steers this bold study in youthful rebellion.
