| Summary |
Don Alfonso plays the marimba for a living. When he meets an old underground heavy-metal legend, they decide to do something radical and fuse both sounds. A fresh and hilarious documentary-fiction hybrid about the fusion between tradition and modernity that conveys a moving and authentic sense of Guatemalan life.. Official Selection at the Toronto International Film Festival.. “This largely comic look at one determined marimba player’s struggles is a clear allegory on the dangers Guatemalan artists face when thinking outside the box.” – Robert Koehler , Variety |
