THE CHILDREN
synopsis
Four boys meet at a kiosk during a rainy afternoon. One of them must study and the other three go to the cinema, although they're too young to see the film. Andrés works as a hotel bellman and dreams of being a bullfighter, "El Chispa" runs his father's kiosk, Carlos is a student, and "El Negro" is a shy boy. The group of friends just wants to have fun, but reality forces them to deal with the problems of the adult world.
