Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Will love compromise one man's devotion to heavy rock? That's the all-important question behind this broad comedy from Spain. Isi (Santiago Segura) and Disi (Florentino Fernandez) are two best friends who live in a lower middle-class neighborhood near Madrid. Isi and Disi aren't especially bright, but their devotion to heavy metal is complete and unquestioned, and they wouldn't be caught dead listening to a lame pop singer like, say , Joaquin Sabina. However, one day Isi sees Vane (Jaydy Michel), a beautiful girl who attends a nearby college, and immediately falls head over heels in love.

Part of

Isi/Disi Collection

These films follow two friends, Isi and Disi, deeply committed to heavy metal music, facing challenges when outside influences threaten their friendship. In the first film, they both fall in love with the same woman, causing a rift. The second film has Disi falling for Angie, linked to their record label owner. Both explore if love will compromise their devotion to heavy metal and if their friendship can endure. In the third film, Isi and Disi, estranged for ten years, struggle in the heavy metal scene. Their passion for music remains, but the film questions if reuniting will reshape their identities and careers, or if their love for heavy metal will still dominate. They confront their past, explore their relationship, and face sacrifices in the music industry, intertwined with themes of female friendship and balancing career and personal life. The films highlight creative expression, questioning if reuniting will heal or hinder their lives and careers.
