Movie description:
Héctor, a boy of 16, has lost his mother. His aunt Tere is going to look after him. He has to go from living in a house with a garden in a provincial city to a small apartment on the outskirts of Madrid. Héctor is trying to understand the new reality taking shape before his eyes: a way of life that is very different from the one he knew but that is becoming more familiar each day. Everything changes when Martín, Héctor’s father, arrives. He has traveled from the other side of the ocean to meet his son. The boy knew that his father existed although he never wanted to meet him. Martín pursues him in order to explain the reason for his long absence and, in that way, win his son’s heart and also offer him a new life in Mexico. Héctor will have to decide between his newly discovered family and the adventure beyond the sea. Influenced perhaps by his character or his feelings, Héctor decides.
Héctor is sixteen and has just lost his mother. He starts living with his aunt Tere. He moves from the centre of Madrid to a small flat on the city’s outskirts. The boy is struggling to understand what is happening around him. Suddenly he has to cope with a completely different lifestyle – though doesn’t perceive it as anything strange – and hide a dark secret from others. Everything changes when Héctor’s father shows up in Madrid. Although the boy knew about his father’s existence, they have never met before. His father would like to take him to Mexico, but first has to find a way to his son. This is yet another in a series of plain films for young people. Spanish cinema has always produced many such films with authentic setting, informal language, and minimal plot, developing human dramas.
