synopsis
Four men with a shared traumatic past come together for a reunion that has disturbing consequences in this gritty independent drama. Ten years ago, Nick (Theo Nicholas Pagones), Ryan (Christopher Jacobs), Danny (Jesse Harper), and Patrick (Elan James) all ran on the same track team in high school in Madrid, NM. Today, they're living in Los Angeles, and they decide to ride back to Madrid together for a reunion with their track coach (Vance Strickland). However, it turns out the four aren't planning to swap funny stories about old times; they were all sexually abused by the coach and are planning to get revenge for his actions. Boys From Madrid was a multiple award winner at the 2001 Phoenix Film Festival.
