THE WANDERING STAR
O.V. Spanish subtitle in English
In 1984, the punk group Los Fiambres released a cult record, El lado oscuro del rocanrol. This lysergic, ironic journey begins thirty years later with Rober Perdut, its singer, in a photo session in a bus station. Wanderings in a ghostly landscape, desperate zapping through the mental processes of someone under the effects of heroin and cocaine in a kind of “Videodrome for the digital era”. Image as a drug, loss and the search for the id in front of the screen.
