Los bárbaros

2025 · 102 min

A quiet, grounded social drama that immerses you in the fragile, improvised lives of young squatters, feeling both intimate and quietly urgent.

Overview: In the year of the crisis, four young people attempt to make a home by squatting in an unfinished building – a paradoxical limbo amid the real-estate bubble, where they willingly remain on the fringes of it all.
How it feels: Melancholic, tense, warm and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Class, isolation, survival, found family
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
