But as whispers spread about Alf’s own identity, his fear of rejection drives him back toward his old circle - leading him to make a devastating choice to prove he still belongs.
Fine Young Men is a tense Mexican drama about privileged masculinity, peer pressure and the violence produced by trying to prove oneself within a toxic social group. Alejandro Andrade brings control and sharp observation to the material, giving the film a disturbing relevance.
