"Mensaka"
1998
Directed by Salvador Garcia Ruiz

Madrid's rock n' roll scene is the backdrop for this believably compassionate study of a group of young musicians struggling towards success and adulthood. Along the way, they learn about controlling their artistic freedom, trusting themselves and their loved ones and coping with the changing emotional demands of their interpersonal lives. Variety says the film is "brought to life with surprising accomplishment."  105 minutes.
