The Nobodies

(Los nadie)
Juan Sebastián Mesa | Fiction, Drama

2016 | 84 minutes | Colombia

Love, hate, broken promises, and five street-siblings who meet in the middle of a hostile city.

Synopsis

Camilo, Mechas, Manu, Ana, and Pipa are five friends who live a non-conforming life in Medellín. Their punkish lifestyle is simultaneously a protest and a renewed discourse addressing and resisting the cultural limitations of their time.

Music, street art, and friendship are their weapons of resistance, hoping for a rite of passage that could transform them into someone else.
