set against the backdrop of madrid's sizzling urban rock 'n' roll scene, mensaka is a spicy tale of a group of young aspiring musicians trying to strike it rich, while holding on to their creative ideals and friendships.
david is a mensaka (motorbike messenger) who also plays drums in a band with the handsome fran and javier. the band is on the verge of signing a record contract with a sleazy agent, but tempers flare over their being promoted as young urban poets. david refuses to compromise their rough-edged sound while fran cares less about the music than filling his quota of pretty female groupies behind his girlfriend's back. as david, fran, and javi struggle to find their professional identities, each also faces the changing demands of their personal relationships: david with bea, fran with natalia, and javi with cristina making mensaka a film which is "perceptive about the emotional chaos that accompanies the great leap forward into adulthood: about the patience of the girls while the boys are painfully discovering who they are; and the way that money can convert teen rebellion into pop pulp".
