INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS.

Inspired by true events set against the backdrop of Cuba’s 1990’s punk subculture, Los Frikis is a powerful coming-of-age story centering around Gustavo who idolizes his older brother Paco and his punk bandmates. As oppression and extreme poverty tighten their grip, the Frikis take a desperate and defiant stand, intentionally injecting themselves with HIV to gain refuge in a government-run sanatorium. There, in a world meant for isolation, they carve out their own anarchic utopia—an oasis of rock 'n' roll, joy, freedom and acceptance.

From the directors of The Peanut Butter Falcon and Academy Award-winning© producers Lord Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse).

Featuring an original score from Academy Award-winner© Steven Price (Gravity) and cinematography from Santiago Gonzalez (Beyonce: Black is King).
