Plot

In Medellín, friends Mechas, Manu, Ana, Camilo, and Pipa are a group of young anarcho-punk street artists who feel outcast by society and much of their respective families. They perform tricks on the street for money, mainly juggling. The film has a very loose structure, lacking a clearly defined plot. It mainly focuses on the group being quintessentially young - exploring the local musical scene, arguing with their parents, and just hanging out with one another.[1][2][3]
