You’re My Hero

Directed by Antonio Cuadri

A semi-autobiographical, coming-of-age-tale set in 1975 against the tumultuous period of the transition from Francoist dictatorship to democracy. Ramón (Lozano of LA LENGUA DE LAS MARIPOSAS/ BUTTERFLY’S TONGUE) has recently moved to Seville where he is faced with having to start again at that awkward age. Bullies, first love, new friends all figure during a time where even for school kids the personal can become political.
