Synopsis
Pablo, like many 13-year-old boys, is searching for his identity and for the answers to all of the life questions that plague his idle thoughts. His one and only friend, Julia (two years his senior), is interested in helping him answer those questions. Her feelings for Pablo are readily apparent and seemingly insatiable, but Pablo is looking for something more. As the days of summer progress, Pablo meets an intriguing man named Paco, whose car has broken down just outside of town. What starts as an urge to help Paco with his predicament transforms into a friendship between the two, as Pablo desperately seeks not only the care of the father-figure he lacks, but also some semblance of understanding regarding his dark past. Pablo grows more and more fond of Paco, and starts to replace his cautiousness with trust in the man. That transition, though, is rapidly leading Pablo toward a tragedy for which he couldn’t possibly have prepared.[2]
