A heartfelt moral tale set in 1950s Barcelona, an affirmation that a fairer world is both necessary and possible<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senza sorriso<\/em> is a heartfelt moral tale set amidst the poverty of 1950s Barcelona. At its heart, the film displays a genuine desire for social change in its depiction of a world of alcoholism and violence that negatively affects children. The young main character is left to fend for himself, and appears condemned to a life without hope. Without ever renouncing the lightness with which it approaches the story, Senza sorriso<\/em> affirms with conviction that this chain of negativity, which appears to be as evitable as a law of nature, can be broken: what is required is the right institutions and the right adults to help create a better world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Barcelona. Little Piquin, whose mother is dead, whose father is an alcoholic, and who has a wicked aunt, appears destined to suffer a childhood without a ray of hope. Even what little money he manages to earn working as a newspaper seller is taken from him. But the new school year brings with it a new teacher, Mr Ponte, who starts to treat him differently and opens up unexpected possibilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14683,"template":"","project-category":[33],"project-genre":[48],"class_list":["post-14687","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-category-cinema-en","project-genre-comedy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
