The Paranoids

"I'm Luciano Gauna, I've been a damn coward all my life."

2008105 min6.9 / 10

A character-driven comedy-drama about creative ambition, male friendship, and self-doubt, where a struggling artist confronts his own cowardice through the return of a more successful friend.

Luciano works in birthday parties and writes his first feature when friend Manuel returns from Spain to repeat his TV show, "The Paranoids", together with his girl Sofia. Manuel is everything he is not and him trying to be helpful in his career and with women, only worsens the conflict.
