MAD BILLS TO PAY

Mad Bills to Pay (or Destiny, dile que no soy malo) / 2025 / USA / 100 min

Welcome to the Bronx, where people speak loudly and mature rapidly. “Mad Bills to Pay”, a standout at Sundance and Berlinale's Perspectives section, blends humor, melancholy, and social empathy. When two teenagers reach a life crossroads, they realize selling Nutties on beaches isn't sustainable. This love letter to the Bronx's Latino community explores childhood's fleeting nature, first reality clashes, and growing pains—even as we laugh through them.
