Despite the risk of getting caught by the police and their parents, the young fugitives jeopardize the security of their hiding place and seek to expand the limits of their newfound paradise by returning to the real world, where wounds are real and actions have consequences.
This movie takes part in the International Competition here in Thessaloniki.
Public reaction to the film has been enthusiastic. Q&A session pointed the ambition of Gerardo Naranja to show gaps in social classes and how his movie denounces violence as part a youth style of life in Mexico today. As Gerardo Naranja sais, it is common that collegian show up to school with guns even though they are not using it !
Photography is high standard quality and youngsters show us very promessfull performances.
