Sinopsis
Fiction. Daniel, "el Mochuelo", has to leave his hometown to go to the city to study. A few days before leaving, Daniel and his inseparable friends, Roque, "el Moñigo", and Germán, "el Tiñoso", play, joke, and, above all, observe the peculiar world of adults.
Icon of Spanish cinema, Ana Mariscal started her career in the early 1940s, when she appeared in two films: Dulcinea, an adaptation of a play written by Gaston Baty, directed by Luis Escobar; as well as El último húsar, directed by Luis Marquina. Although Mariscal kept on acting throughout her career (she would appear in more than 50 films), she got tired of playing the same characters in the early 1950s and came up with her own by creating her own production company named Bosco Films. Her first feature film with Bosco Films was Segundo Lopez, Urban Adventurer (1953). It was critically acclaimed and is considered one of the earliest examples of the Spanish neorealist movement. Mariscal directed a dozen films before going back to acting in several successful roles before she passed away in 1995.
