Bremen

"Bremen" is a very free adaptation of the fairy tale "The Bremen Town Musicians" by the Brothers Grimm, produced and realized by and with the Chilean rock band Ases Falsos. When he learns that he is to be slaughtered, a donkey escapes his owners and runs away. Chance brings him together with a dog, a cat and a rooster and so they form a team of four outcasts who are united by their common misery. Together they go in search of Bremen, a paradisiacal place where they want to establish themselves as a music band. But fate forces them to face the most diverse and eccentric threats again and again and death does not stop pursuing them.

Directed by Cristóbal Briceño, Bremen leans on a strong ensemble — Daniel De la Fuente, Simón Sánchez, Francisco Rojas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 2023.
