Four boys. 13 year old tops.
Four boys and their gang, hurtling down the streets of their village with their skateboards, between the sea, the country and the city. Skateboarding always faster to escape. Escape from a boring life, to school that shrinks the dreams, to adults who stopped laughing.
Get drunk in strong feelings hurtling down the hills, sunset on one side, ocean on the other. Hear the squeaking of the ball bearings on the asphalt to push life further. Release joy and pain, share the fears and the battles: to love the girls, to conquer the fathers, to forget high school.
Life is hard when you’re 13, but it’s a life together. The life that saves from everything. And together they decide to follow through with their promise, go and skate in Barcelona.
