El mundo de nelsito

Directed by Fernando Pérez
Cuba, Spain
2022
102 mins

The victim is Nelsito, a 16-year-old autistic teenager who has run away from home. From his stretcher and through his imaginary pen, Nelsito reveals to us the dark and hidden side of all those who surround him: wicked children, murderous women, adorable swindlers...

Once recovered, Nelsito will be received by his characters – now simple neighbors who are real, ordinary, and genuine.

But which are the real ones?

Those ordinary mortals or the ones that Nelsito has imagined in each of them?
