Dani&Billy
Dani has always felt that he is different from boys his age and that, for some reason, he had to keep it a secret. Now, at 16, he begins to understand the feelings that run through him, and with them come new fears that torment him. With the arrival of Lucas from the city, he finally finds a mirror in which to look at himself and thus gather the necessary strength to accept what he is: a gay boy in rural Spain in 1990.
