Los FrikisLos Frikis

"Gustavo idolizes his older brother Paco and his punk, 'Frikis' bandmates. When word reaches the Frikis of a potential reprieve from the effects of the economic crisis, they do the now unthinkable: deliberately inject themselves with HIV to live at a government-run treatment home. It's there that they create their own utopia to live and play music freely."--Publisher's description.
"In 1990"s Cuba, where Fidel Castro has outlawed all rock music, a group of impoverished punk musicians dream of a life beyond oppression. Desperate for a way out, they seize on a shocking and dangerous escape-one that could grant them the freedom they crave but at the ultimate cost. Inspired by true events, Los Frikis is a gripping story of rebellion, sacrifice, and the unbreakable human spirit."--Container.
