Güeros
Being young and not being revolutionary is an even biological contradiction.
Directed by Alonso Ruizpalacios
Produced by Instituto Mexicano de Cinematografía, Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes
A vibrant, affectionate coming-of-age road movie about two brothers navigating Mexico City during political upheaval, balancing youthful idealism with the search for meaning through music and connection.
Set amidst the 1999 student strikes in Mexico City, this coming-of-age tale finds two brothers venturing through the city in a sentimental search for an aging legendary musician. Shot in black-and-white, Güeros brims with youthful exuberance.
