Barrio

Three friends : Javi, Manu and Rai live in the same Madrid neighborhood. This is a neighborhood like any other one, with its huge public housing complexes made of dark bricks, steeped in the heat of the summer and a load of boredom. The three schoolmates are dreaming, staring at the photos of heavenly beaches and the papier mâché tanned girls behind the travel agency windows. Their paradises made of sunshine and surfboards, which are shown on television screens, seem so close... They know how hard it is to get out of the neighborhood and how hard it is to while away the time to avoid getting into trouble. This is the story of a struggle to grow up, a struggle to get away from the harsh reality of neighborhood life.
