Set against the backdrop of 1990s Cuba, Los Frikis tells the raw, unforgettable story of brotherhood, sacrifice, and the search for freedom. Inspired by actual events, the film follows Gustavo, who idolizes his older brother Paco and his punk bandmates—the “Frikis.” As oppression and extreme poverty tighten their grip, the Frikis take a desperate and defiant stand, intentionally infecting themselves with HIV to gain refuge in government-run sanitariums. There, in a world meant for isolation, they carve out their anarchic utopia—an oasis of rock ‘n’ roll, joy, and freedom, where the spirit of resistance thrives, and Gustavo will risk everything to reunite with those he loves. Los Frikis is a powerful coming-of-age tale about the price of freedom and the lengths we go to find it.
