Gasolina

Three youths are driving aimlessly around with little gas and without a plan. They steal gas from another car and trawl the streets looking for a party and other young people. Their trip becomes a different kind of journey for the boys as friendships are put to the test and the hour of truth suddenly arrives. Breaking away from parents and the road to adulthood are twisted and full of conflict. They soon learn that everyday actions may have unexpected consequences. Gasolina is a powerful debut about friendship and the turbulent time of youth, with all its dead ends. A naked, violent and though-provoking film that swept away as many as three awards during the San Sebastian Film Festival. red.
