Comedy

Jeff Marx wants to study medicine and become a physician. However, his grades are far from enough to get him into an American medical school. But then he gets a chance to study medicine abroad in a small Latin American dictatorship governed by the dictator Ramon Madera who has a big interest in how the medical students behave.

VIBE

This film feels like a fever dream, a darkly funny and absurd look at ambition gone awry. It's a satirical romp through a bizarre dictatorship, where the educational system is as twisted as the politics.
