La Gang
- Carol & Marina Rodríguez Colás
Ayman, a teenager of Moroccan origin, is invited by Sara to her party, held in the same house where Ayman’s mother works as a domestic worker. Accompanied by Eric and Robert, his lifelong friends, they embark on a journey filled with confrontations and disappointments, both with society and themselves, putting the friendship of “la gang” to the test. Once at the party, they will discover that life is not as they believed and that, ultimately, wanting does not always mean being able. They discover that life is not as they thought it would be and that, in the end, a will doesn’t always mean there’s a way.
