Fierro Viejo

Luis discovers the world at age seven. Violence touches his surroundings and triggers the first encounter with death, the discovery of the fragility of his father, and the learning of masculinity in his vulnerable world. Everything happens between games and perplexities. It is life in a violent Mexico, where only growing implies danger.

A man’s death awakes a sense of curiosity in Nellie, a girl who discovers empathy by mourning a stranger.
