The sophomore film of Chilean director, Neto Villalobos, HELMET HEADS is a coming-of-age dramedy about an immature bike messenger nicknamed Mancha (the moniker refers to a sizable, blotchy birthmark on his face, for which he’s playfully teased). Mancha lives a carefree life, spending much of his free time drinking beer and hanging out on the streets of San Jose´ with his fellow messenger pals, who seem to goof off more than they work. His ambitious girlfriend, Clara, finds his lifestyle childish and is considering a move to Horse Island. She wants Mancha to come along, but bikes are prohibited there, and he’s not quite ready for that level of commitment. He likes his life the way it is: simple and mostly free of responsibilities. But when unexpected circumstances leave him without a job or a motorcycle, Mancha must finally grow up and face the complexities of adulthood. Sprinkled with hilariously absurd moments, Villalobos’ off-beat comedy is an endearing and relatable account of one messenger’s bumpy route to maturity. (In Spanish with subtitles) —E.F.
