Wikipedia article
'Gasolina' ('Gasoline') is a 2008 Guatemalan independent comedy film written and directed by Julio Hernndez Cordn. The film deals with dehumanization, lack of purpose and recklessness in Guatemalan youthfulness by following the exploits of three teenage boys who go out on a midnight joyride outside their housing project, stealing gasoline from other vehicles along the way. It stars Jos Andrs Chamier, Carlos Dardn and Francisco Jacome.
Plot
The film tells a story of three middle-class teenagers on a high-octane ride to hell outside the safety of their colonia. They siphon gasoline from their neighbors cars and roam the streets, looking for any and every form of entertainment, but they soon learn that even the simplest actions can have consequences way beyond anything they imagined, and some lessons are learned too late.
