Plot: Pat Cocoran "Humberto Zurita" is a former rock star who is still in shock that his glory days are twenty years past. Because Pat cannot face reality, he spends the vast amount of his time dreaming about rock heroes of old and nostalgically recalling his own experiences as a charismatic front man, the "Chameleon."After an unsuccessful reunion gig, Pat is saved from a near-death experience by the beautiful arborist Ana "Ana Serradilla", and soon after, the two embark on a transformative road trip. The pair journeys through Mexico, encountering spirituality, death, deception, and desire-but can this chameleon embrace real change, adopt self-awareness, and learn to accept life's inevitable truths?Award-winning Mexican director Alfonso Corona uses the inspiration of Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and the psychedelic aura of the 1960s to create an ethereal, mind and soul-bending trip through a washed-up musician's quest to regain his lost splendor.Euforia had its world premiere at Cinquest in March, under the festival's theme of "transformation in mind, body, and soul." The film also played at the San Diego Latino Film Festival and Egypt's El Sawy International Festival, where it won the Best International Feature Film Award.
