Historias del Kronen (1995)


Carlos (Juan Diego Botto) es un joven estudiante que apenas ha cumplido los 21 años. Seco cuando quiere, simpático cuando le da la gana, le encanta provocar y transgredir. Al atardecer, como cada día, Carlos sale de su casa para reunirse con sus amigos en el Kronen, el bar que frecuentan. Es verano, Carlos está de vacaciones. Vive de noche. Cualquier situación puede llevarse un poco más lejos. Ningún límite es admitido, ninguna barrera aceptada. Y cada vez más, una aventura se encadena con otra como si se tratara de una noche continuada. En medio, la oscura voluntad de vivir cada instante como si fuera el último. Sin embargo, algo de lo que ocurre sitúa a Carlos y a su cuadrilla frente a una realidad que han intentado ignorar hasta ese momento.

21-year old Carlos (Juan Diego Botto) is a young student who is nice or annoying as he likes, enjoys provoking and transgressing. In the night he goes to Kronen where he meets his friends in the bars. Every situation can be taken a little farther. There are no limits, no accepted barriers. And more each time, each adventure is chained to the next, as if it were a continuous night. And, amongst that, the obscure will of living every minute as if it were the last one. Nevertheless, something happens that will put Carlos and his friends against a reality they have been trying to ignore until the last moment.

HISTORIAS DEL KRONEN is classified as fiction but amazingly all the incidents in this film from Spain had occurred in reality especially in my own real world. It's a film that I could really relate to and I know that there are quite a number of people out there who would be feeling exactly the same.
