SYNOPSIS

In one of those neighborhoods south of the big cities—where neither the subway nor money reaches—Javi, Manu, and Rai are high school classmates, but above all, friends. They’re at that age when you’re neither a man nor a boy, when you talk a lot about girls but very little with them. They also share life in the neighborhood, the summer heat, and a whole lot of problems. The first problem is the neighborhood itself—a place of large public housing blocks, dark brick, and depressing, gloomy architecture. There’s little to do there, and in August, even less. The city center is far away and transportation is poor, so the three friends spend most of their time on the neighborhood streets. (FILMAFFINITY)
