synopsis
The charming, funny and much lauded debut from Alexis Dos Santos (Unmade Beds) premiered Toronto 2006 and was released in North America by Picture This!
A small town in vast, empty Patagonia – the gawky Lucas, a 15 year old timebomb of hormones, boredom and family alienation, hangs out with his hunky and horny best friend Nacho and bespectacled mouse Andrea. The threesome cope with the trials of burgeoning adolescence by getting high and getting off, mostly, in variations, with each other. Featuring music by Violent Femmes.
