Here’s a review of Historias del Kronen (1995) based on the version. Quick Verdict A raw, unflinching time capsule of 1990s Spanish youth disaffection. Think Less Than Zero meets Kids , but set in Madrid’s nocturnal underground. It’s not an easy watch, but it’s an important one. Plot & Tone Based on José Ángel Mañas’ controversial novel, the film follows Carlos and his group of privileged, nihilistic friends during a sweltering summer in Madrid. Their days blur between drugs, alcohol, aimless sex, and casual cruelty—culminating in a tragic event that forces a moment of empty self-reflection.
