Blast Beat

Blast Beat is a coming-of-age drama set in the year 2000 about Carly and Mateo. The brothers and their family are Colombian undocumented immigrants who have been living in the U.S. for only a year and are in the middle of a difficult and painful cultural transition. Nelly, The boys' mother, is having an affair, and what's worse is their role-model father, Ernesto, has been suddenly picked up by the Immigration Police and is getting deported. When the news of the deportation comes to light, Mateo tries to carry out a crazy plan that would reunite him with his father. Even though the brothers are ultimate rivals, Carly sets out to protect Mateo from his own madness and save the future of the family. (Palm Beach International Film Festival)
