Short description:
Jacinto and Pablo Melara are „Los Ganglios“, a legendary „Punk Techno Porc“ group born in Extremadura and successfully exported to Barcelona. However, the two brothers juggle the life of an artist, an employee, and a family man… well, they have no other option but to make their creativity an unstoppable mechanism.
The tough life of a musician becomes the search for a balance between different worlds. Their story unfolds through loops: the creative family environment of their childhood, a recent tour, and the composition of the new album. This documentary wants to be a portrait not only of my two friends but also of a category that is seldom celebrated critically: the artist who struggles to turn their passion into a job.
