Movie description:
In a large dull suburb of a large Spanish city, three friends are growing up together: Javi, Manu, and Rai. They have reached that point between childhood and adulthood. They talk a lot about girls, but not too often to them. And what’s more, holidays are about to start. On TV families are departing for the seaside, but all they have in front of them are two months of boredom in a dusty city. What they don’t know is that this year they will have more fun than usual. Together and on their own they try to get away, make some money, or at least have fun with a girl. But life in the barrio offers little fun and many opportunities to get into trouble. The Neighbourhood offers an excellent reflection of social reality, but its form addresses young viewers who can see how difficult it is to behave like adults.
Caught in the concrete jungle, 15-year-old friends Rai (Crispulo Cabezas), Manu (Eloi Yebra), and Javi (Timy) pass the summer dreaming of girls and sandy beaches. Javi is surprised by the sexual interest of his pals in his sister Susi (Marieta Orozco). Minus a vehicle, Manu struggles to keep his pizza delivery job. Entering a contest for an exotic vacation, Rai instead wins a jet ski – which is stolen before he manages to profit by selling it. Manu and his father (Francisco Algora) lie about Manu’s absent junkie brother, while Javi’s mother (Alicia Sanchez) gets a court restraint to deal with Javi’s violent father (Enrique Villen). The film features a soundtrack of Spanish rap and rock. At the 1998 San Sebastian Film Festival, Leon de Aranoa received a »Best Director« award plus two other awards for screenwriting.
