A new cycle of the 'Siembra' project of Tenique Cultural begins in October with six titles such as the unforgettable 'El Bola'. The association brings to the island the director Achero Mañas, who after the screening of his award-winning film 'El Bola', will hold an open conversation with the public about this mythical film of Spanish cinema. This is a unique opportunity to listen and ask questions to a renowned film director in the national and international arena.
A film that tells the life of Pablo, a 12-year-old boy who is abused by his father and whose family is marked by the death of Pablo's brother. One day he meets Alfredo at school, a new boy in the neighborhood, and they become friends. Alfredo's family welcomes him as another son, which leads Pablo to understand that love and care exist beyond beatings and sadness. The possibility of knowing that there can be a family reality different from his own will give Bola the strength to face his complicated situation and face his worst fears.
The director and co-writer of the film, Achero Mañas, will be at the viewing of the film and in the subsequent debate that will be established with the attending public. 'El Bola' won four Goya awards in 2001, best film, best original screenplay, best new director and best new actor.
