English and spanish subtitled

Sing to punk!
Sing to drugs!
Sing to death and self-destruction!
Sing to how to handle the wild side of life with the middle class virtues!
This is the portrait of an artist and his Punk Rock band living a daily revolution while trying to take your family on the right way but he doesn’t know how to deal with his suicidal tendencies and his music.
Although perhaps he is just another person with an impossible dream and many contradictions. As everyone.

Director's Biography

Miguel Ángel Blanca
A musician, storyteller and producer. He studied screenwriting at the Escola Superior de Cinema i Audiovisuals de Catalunya (ESCAC) and has written a number of fictional short films for which he has received over fifty international awards. In 2005 he founded the group Manos de Topo which reflects his fondness for surrealist failed romances. He has also written the script for fictional features films: El año del cometa (Jet Films, 2010), Somos Gente Honrada (Vaca Films and El Terrat 2012) and La Última Canción (preproduction, 2014). In 2009 he joined Boogaloo Film to explore the world of transmedia storytelling. There he took part in the project Your Lost Memories in which he wrote and codirected with Alejandro Marzoa a documentary of the same name. In 2011 he began working under the pseudonym Guillothina, exploring new narrative forms and audio-visual remix practices, and by 2014 had completed the live cinema project Després de la Generació Feliç (Boogaloo Films). His documentary Un Lloc On Caure Mort (Boogaloo Films, 2014) highlights the cracks that have appeared in the world that surrounds him.

Raúl Cuevas
He studied Audio-visual Communication at the Universidad Pompeu Fabra and then did a Masters in Creative Documentaries. Tired of fiction, he turned to documentaries where he discovered the beauty of using the camera to capture real moments, free of intermediaries. At first he focused his newly-found passion on his immediate surroundings, concentrating on his neighbourhood and family. He later also made music a focal point of his documentaries. All his works reflect his strong ability to capture moments of great beauty in life; moments that are sincere, emotional and pure. He has made a number of video clips, for such musicians as Mazoni, Sanjosex, Els Surfing Sirles, La Bien Querida, Lorena Álvarez and Anímic, among others. Alongside his own pieces he has also worked together with directors like Albert Solé and Ricardo Íscar as photography director and film editor for productions made by La Sexta (Salvados), TVE and Televisió de Catalunya.
