Promarfi Futuro 2010

QUINQUI STARS begins in the years of the transformations that took place between the 70s and the 80s in the peripheral neighborhoods of Madrid that affected many young people and drove them towards delinquency.

Djalal is a young man struggling to find his place in the real world. He is obsessed with Lord_Sex, his Internet avatar. He has been building his cyber identity since his teens, recording himself recreating military operations and uploading his videos to YouTube. He has thousands of followers. He also has one of the largest private collections of weapons and military equipment. Taking his dream to the limit, he enlists in the Spanish army and volunteers to go to the Afghan front. He spends six months there with his video camera, recording in his spare time. Then he decides to leave the army. But it's not because he's afraid, it's because he's bored: war isn't like in the movies.
