Advantages: A great plot, the cast and its strong message Disadvantages: It isn't too much known outside Spain
In first place I would like to thank the ciao team that they have added this product.
Maybe most of you don?t know this film, it is called ?El Bola? that in English means ?The Ball? or ?The Marble? and which is the nickname of the main character of the film.It is written and directed by Achero Maņas a beginner in the cinema world who does a wonderful work in this film.
El Bola isn?t just one drama film more it also is a report against the children?s mistreat.
--- PLOT ---
Pablo, called ?El Bola? is a boy who lives in a deprived borough in Madrid and who has like an amusement to play in train?s rails with his friends, until Alfredo comes.
Alfredo is a new boy in the borough with a good and funny family without money problems.
Not like in the family of El Bola, the money scarces, they look after the old grandma who suffer ...

Advantages: Tricky subject which needs exposure, done very well. Disadvantages: No English audio track. Subtitles only. Not widely distributed.
to tackle, however director Achero Maņas manages to keep the viewer glued to the screen from the first frame to the last. You never quite know what's about to happen. I guarantee that you will laugh and cry with the characters on screen as well as feel their pain, and their fear (one particular scene showing only a pair of shoes outside a door brought the tears to my eyes and made me feel fearful and scared).

It covers topics which, for some, may be hard to watch. I watched it on my own one evening and I feel it changed my perception to certain situations.
I mentioned as a disadvantage that the feature has a Spanish audio track with English subtitles, and no ENglish audio track ...
