Little Jaibo

Little Boy (2015)

Have you ever heard that faith moves mountains? How strong are our beliefs? Just when everyone says it's over, our mind keeps insisting that more can be given. Alejandro Monteverde gives us a character who has everything against us from the beginning and shows us the path he takes to get ahead, shows us the greatest battle of a child with the purest feelings.

Little Boy is a film based on the 40s directed by Alejandro Monteverde of which he is also co-writer with Pepe Portillo.

Synopsis.
In a small town in the USA 7-year-old boy who suffers from developmental problems lives. When his father, almost his only friend, goes to the front to fight in World War II, the boy will have to face not only the indifference of his classmates but also that of his neighbours.

"Little Boy" is a film that leaves us a very deep message, tells us that faith is a weapon of the human being that allows us to achieve our goals. "Little Boy" exposes human drama in a way that alternates between the gentle and the tragicomic. It could be labelled, by abounding in categories, as magical realism. Also, of course, and here is the question, of ethics, of philosophy; with a background theme that turns out to be the development of self-confidence.

Alejandro Monteverde shows us the fascination he has for past eras, he captures everything perfectly well, helping himself with the excellent lighting and the very successful scenography.
