Synopsis

Pellet a.k.a. El Bola (Juan Jose Ballesta) is a 12 year-old boy raised in a violent and sordid environment. Embarrassed by his family life, he tries to avoid becoming close to any of his classmates. The arrival of a new boy, Alfredo (Pablo Galan), at school, with whom he learns the meaning of friendship and the discovery of a family where communication and love prevail, provides Pellet with the strength necessary to accept and finally confront his own situation.
