SYNOPSIS: Inside a bleak orphanage run by the fascist Argentinean government is Polin, strong-willed boy abandoned by his family.  Struggling to survive the daily beatings and emotional abuse brought on by the hands of his rulers, Polin plans an escape to the outside world.  Polin is ready for freedom and yearns to see his family again, but is his family ready to see him?

EDITORIAL REVIEW: Life inside this dank orphanage for young Polin (played by Diego Puente) doesn't last very long.  Using some very ingenious tactics, he escapes and goes back to his village in search of the family that abandoned him.  The village is a slum, full of thieves and criminals, and no better than the life he left back at the State run orphanage.  Will Polin find his family again, or will he always be a boy alone?

This movie was once banned by the Argentinean government, not for it's content, but more for the way it portrays the government.
