"Malditos" (spanish for "Damned") it's a documentary film about Chile's most respected and influential punk rock band: Fiskales Ad-Hok. Formed in the middle-late eighties by then teenagers Álvaro España and Roli Urzúa, during the last years of Chile's cruelest right-wing military dictatorship, this film features the story of the band from their early days, narrated by their own members, with a mixture of crude punk rock, teenage angst, nonconformity, friendship, DIY, marginality, mutual support, apathy, which followed line-up changes. When the 1989 plebiscite showed that Pinochet's dictatorship was over, changes in Chilean politics and society weren't as expected, so the young people in Chile kept those feelings of bitterness and anger, which Fiskales Ad-Hok relieved on their music and lyrics. In 1992 they opened for one of the first major punk rock shows in Chile, Ramones, with success and they went on tour to Europe. The band members, from different stages and other people related, tell the story in their own words, with some archive footage, until the band's hiatus on 2004.
