Els Nens salvatges

Directed by Patricia Ferreira

UK Premiere

In this tale of teenage rebellion with tragic consequences, Alex, Gabi and Oki do their best to deal with the pressures of school and home life, with parents and teachers who struggle to understand or control their behaviour. Like any other teenagers, they like to spend their time pushing the limits that their parents and society enforce on them; drinking, fighting and creating graffiti art. Director Patricia Ferreira’s portrait of teenage life asks why certain kids are feared and labelled ‘wild’, and suggests that ultimately this attitude causes more problems than it solves.
