US Premiere

Chala is an eleven years old boy who lives with his addict mother and trains fighting dogs to survive, an environment of violence that sometimes comes to light at school. Carmela is his sixth grade teacher and Chala feels great respect for her; but when she goes on sick leave he gets transferred to a disciplinary school. When Carmela returns, she opposes to this measure and their relationship gets stronger. This puts at risk their ability to remain in the school. 

Chala tiene once años, vive solo con su madre adicta y entrena perros de pelea para sobrevivir, un entorno de violencia que a veces se refleja en la escuela. Carmela es su maestra de sexto grado y el muchacho siente un gran respeto por ella; pero cuando ella enferma y se ausenta Chala es trasladado a una escuela de conducta. A su regreso, Carmela se opone a esta medida y la relación con el niño se intensifica, lo cual pondrá en riesgo la permanencia de ambos en la escuela.

Actors Armando Valdes, Idalmis Garcia present for Q&A
