ASTRONAUTAS is the story of wild-eyed Daniel, a junkie who calls himself an astronaut. He meets 16-year-old Laura, an Andalusian girl all alone in the world. She helps him follow his disinterested state doctor’s ten-step program for normalcy, steps like ‘socialization’ and ‘sex’. ASTRONAUTS is a wry, deadpan comedy with wildly funny situations. Director Amodeo’s own band, Lavadora, provides the Velvet Underground-like soundtrack and Nan-cho Novo’s performance as Daniel is fantastic. This film is destined for cult status.
The actress Teresa Hurtado will introduce the film.
