Exceptionally executed music documentary that provides an intimate insight into the creative force behind the coolest band in the history of rock.

Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala made a significant impact in the late '90s with the post-hardcore band At the Drive-In. Shortly after their breakthrough, the group imploded due to drug abuse and disagreements about creative direction. The inseparable pair moved on to form The Mars Volta, whose eclectic blend of rock, Latin, and prog made them acclaimed torchbearers in the avant-garde rock scene. The new documentary unfolds the astonishing story of one of the world's most influential rock bands through a breathtaking amount of archival material, providing an intimate and warm look into a lifelong friendship.
