Synopsis by Bhob Stewart
A "mensaka" is a motorbike messenger. In this Spanish drama, mensaka David (Gustavo Salmeron) is a drummer in a band about to sign a recording contract. Problems arise when drug dealer Ricardo (Guillermo Toledo) moves in with David and his girlfriend Bea (Laia Marull), while band member Javi (Tristan Ulloa) falls for junkie Cristina (Lola Duenas). Salvador Garcia Ruiz directed the Luis Marias screenplay, adapted from Jose Angel Manas's novel.
