About the film
When free love becomes music.
What it’s about
Bob and Alif are young artists immersed in the creative whirlwind of the early 1970s hippie culture. Their passionate summer together soon spirals as drugs take hold, turning euphoria into a nightmare. The film traces the couple's descent through the themes of Wyatt's music: the euphoria and anguish of artistic creation, the unconscious fascination with drugs, the disenchantment with routine, and physical and mental degradation.
What hooks you
Co-directed by María Trénor and Alba Sotorra, with Robert Wyatt as the original music composer, the film received a Goya nomination for Best Animated Film in 2025. Blanca Valletbó voices Caroline, and Daniel Masalles is also in the cast.
Who it’s for
It suits viewers who appreciate music-driven animation, stories of creative obsession, and the visual culture of the 1970s.
