Pampered, pouty 15-year-old Roman is the son of a corrupt politician. Having been expelled from the best private schools in Mexico, he winds up in a public school where he pens a performance piece called “See You in Hell” where he hangs himself onstage. Disaffected Maru falls hard for him and they decide to run away, but not too far away, preferring to hide out atop Roman’s mansion rooftop. A latter-day remix of HAROLD AND MAUDE and PIERROT LE FOU, this film is an energetic, sympathetic blast of adolescent ennui and misplaced rebellion, written and directed by rising talent (and AFI Conservatory alumnus) Gerardo Naranjo (DRAMA/MEX).
Special Guest: Actress Maria Deschamps
