It's a Saturday morning in Montevideo, and Leche, Javi and Seba are still up from the night before, drinking beer and avoiding responsibility. The film follows these lazy compadres for 24 hours as they talk nonsense, encounter weird characters from the neighborhood, and drift in a state of chronic boredom. The directors of this low-budget black-and-white flick admit being influenced by SLACKER, CLERKS, and STRANGER THAN PARADISE, and audiences have been won over by the similarly sly, goofy charms of 25 WATTS.
Cast: Daniel Hendler, Jorge Temponi, Alfonso Tort, Valentin Rivero, Valeria Mendieta.
In Spanish with optional English subtitles.
