One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
In 1971, two young entrepeneurs decide to organize a race car with lots of indie rock bands livening up the event in Avandaro, Mexico. When only 25 thousand tickets are sold but more than 200 thousand people arrive, things start to get out of control.
"Rock, Weed and Wheels (Autos, mota y rocanrol) is a Mexican comedy directed by J.M. Cravioto (Olimpia) that adopts a mockumentary format (with clear influences from The Office) to tell the story of the infamous Avándaro Festival, retrospectively known as the "Mexican Woodstock," from the perspective of its two organizers: the friends and budding entrepreneurs Justino Compeán (played by Emiliano Zurita) and Eduardo López Negrete (Alejandro Speitzer). Although the film jumps from one moment to another without any minimally complex dramatic or character development, it manages to draw humor from a situation clearly out of its control, with its chaos reaching hilarious levels. While telling the story from the perspective of the organizers rather than the musicians may seem like a missed opportunity, it is undeniable that Cravioto, Zurita, and Speitzer make you laugh in this story that at least rescues other facets of the context that gave rise to the Rock and Wheels Festival of Avándaro."
