Desechos

About This Movie

Desechos is one of those quirky comedies that dances on the edge of absurdity, set against the backdrop of Ibiza's economic despair. The film follows Kiko and Marcelo, two guys trying to make ends meet by renting out a room in their cramped apartment—though it's really just a closet with a bed. The performances by Eric French and Adrià Collado carry a light-hearted yet melancholic vibe, showcasing their struggles with humor and a hint of desperation. The pacing has a loose, almost improvisational feel that allows the scenes to breathe, making the awkward encounters with potential tenants all the more entertaining. The atmosphere captures that unique Spanish flair, blending slice-of-life charm with the absurdity of their situation. A gem for those who appreciate character-driven narratives.
