The movie

Mexico, 1968. Trapped in a small-town bus station while a really bad storm is hitting the country, eight people are desperately waiting for a bus that just won’t show up. The longer the wait, the more short-tempered they become. Things get even more com- plicated when a strange phenomenon starts occurring. Soon reality seems to slip through their fingers... As a love letter to genre cinema, Los Parecidos manages to remain unique while injecting multiple references and tributes into its narrative, from Body Snatchers and The Twilight Zone, to 1950s B-movies, Carpenter, Hitchcock, and many more. This fun, disturbing and unpredictable film is all about entertaining the audience, but doesn’t shy away from subtle political commentaries about estrangement and identity in an ever changing world. Don’t miss out on this retro, claustrophobic game that pays a vibrant homage to the forces of imagination.
