CGiii Comment

Suspected of murder, fifteen year-old Ramón Fortuna (Jorge Alcázar) is held in a detention centre. He feels as if he has woken from a dream, a dream lived in Vallecas, a working-class neighborhood in Madrid. His childhood is over. His mother and sister have dedicated their lives to him; now, although convinced of his innocence, they are powerless. His lawyer Marcelo (Alex Casanovas) - another son of El Barrio - is reluctant to take the case, happier to sever all ties with his secret past and a love long lost.


Una historia de dos vidas qie convergen: la del adolescente Ramón y la del abogado Marcelo. El chaval sufre las consecuencias de unas muertes fortuitas que lo obligan a ingresar en un centro de acogida. El letrado, amigo de la família del crío, se ocupa de su caso, lo que lo devuelve a un barrio, Vallecas, del que huyó y que ahora le trae recuerdos de su pasado. La amistad de Aníbal y la relación matrimonial con Sara salvan a uno y a otro de sus demonios.
