Coming of Age: Vol. 7 Trailers

Coming-of-age short film collection about adolescence. In "An Afterthought", the story of Peter Pan is taken up, does the Everlasting Boy really appear to little Jane or is it all just a dream? In "Beautiful Alexander", the insecure teenager's dilemma is revealed: does he dare to go one step further and approach his idol Ivan on the beach? In a run-down part of Madrid, Paco and José in "Cuban Heel Shoes" have to take care that no one finds out about their love affair. Claudio is 15 and wants to belong to the clique in "J'ador", he admires the 18 year old leader Lauro. If he wants to belong he needs to grow up. "Mani" is 12 and trying to come to terms with his burgeoning puberty/sexuality. He discovers that his mother is having an affair with the family driver. In "My Brother", the brothers Umberto and Stefano have to share a room, with the elder Umberto being forced to look after his younger brother, who constantly seeks contact and affection.
