“If this ever gets weird, we’re gonna stop,” Cedric beseeches Omar, his best friend, erstwhile lover and the creative mastermind of countless bands. Beginning with their youth in El Paso, the film leads us through all the highs and lows of the 20-year friendship and musical partnership of the two faces of “The Mars Volta,” united by their Latin American roots and their outsider status. Sara Gómez
