The Assistant
Jimmy, a washed-up rock star, is drowning in nightmares and addictions that consume him from the inside. His loyal assistant Miguel, witnessing his friend's decay, decides on a desperate move. Together, they embark on a chaotic and unpredictable journey that feels more like a quest of dubious heroes than a recovery program. Their path is paved with absurd encounters, ridiculous situations, and attempts to find any sort of salvation in a world that has long stopped revolving around Jimmy's guitar riffs.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film walks a fine line between dark comedy and a touching story of friendship, where absurdity serves as a cure for despair. The dynamic between the cynical 'hero' and his naive savior creates perfect ground for humor that never devolves into simple jokes.
What lingers after the credits is an unexpectedly deep reflection on creative burnout and the power of human connection, disguised as a fun road trip story. The feeling is warm, albeit slightly bittersweet. — MovieFinder Editorial

A madcap journey through half-forgotten bars, cheap motels, and the ghosts of past glory.
