Sublime

A pitch-perfect drama of two adolescent rockers who share a love of making music, but whose passions and hormones collide.

Music-obsessed 16-year-olds Manuel and Felipe live in a coastal town in Argentina. Best friends, they have known each other their whole lives and do everything together – at school, around town and in their rock band. Rehearsing for their concert debut, Felipe discovers a talent for songwriting, while also helping Manuel to convert an old van into a secret love nest to entertain their respective girlfriends. But he’s also struggling with his emotions. Things come to a head in the days before the concert and suddenly everything is at stake: friendship, love, and the band.

Mariano Biasin’s vibrant drama vividly captures the heartache of adolescent angst and longing, and was nominated for a Jury Prize at BFI Flare Festival 2022.
