1pm
The World of Nelsito / El Mundo de Nelsito
This dramatic comedy introduces us to Nelsito, a 16-year-old autistic boy. After running away from home, he is the victim of a car accident. From his stretcher and through his imaginary pen, Nelsito reveals the dark and hidden side of all those he lives with and those around him: perverse children, murderous women, adorable swindling girls… When he recovers Nelsito returns home, and we meet those same characters, now simple neighbours and real, everyday people. But which are real – these common mortals or the ones he has imagined? M, 102 mins
3pm
Giants of La Mancha / Gigantes: Una aventura extraordinaria
12-year-old Alfonso, heir of Don Quixote, and his three imaginary musical rabbits are joined by Pancho and Victoria to save their beloved town of La Mancha from a huge storm, created by an evil corporation that seeks to own the land. PG, 88 mins
