A cambio de nada

Darío, 16, lives in a Madrid working class neighbourhood and has been having a hard time of it since his parents separated. He has fun in life with Luismi, his trusty friend. Darío runs away from home and gets a job in the workshop of Caralimpia, a poor devil with a winner's pose who teaches him the ropes of the trade. Darío meets Antonia, an elderly 85 year-old who collects abandoned furniture with her 3-wheeled van. Luismi, Antonia and Caralimpia become his new family in a summer that will change their lives.
