Juanjo, coddled by his family, meets Miquel, who supports his struggling single mother and siblings. Their friendship centers around Heavy Metal music, providing solace and connection. Through screeching guitars and heartfelt vocals, their story unfolds with warmth and depth, offering a peek into their teenage souls. The film's minimalist visual style focuses on the boys, ingeniously capturing their world from Barcelona in 1991. It's a poignant journey of change, insight, and growth.
