THIS IS NOT BERLIN
Mexico, 1986: sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll. While everyone else is looking forward to the upcoming soccer world cup, 17-year-old Carlos is preoccupied with listening to music and daydreaming about a girl named Rita. She's in a goth band and is the sister of his best friend, Gera. When Rita takes her brother and Carlos to the legendary nightclub "The Azteca", the boys discover a whole new world of ecstasy, drugs, and queer performance art.
