In this remarkably inventive and comedic drama set in a small town in vast, empty Patagonia (Argentina), the gawky Lucas, a 15-year-old time bomb of hormones, boredom and family alienation, hangs out with his hunky and horny best friend, Nacho, and bespectacled, mousey, gal pal Andrea. The threesome cope with the trials of burgeoning adolescence by getting high and getting off-mostly with each other.

Banned by the Argentinian government for nearly thirty years, Chronicle of a boy alone is a searing indictment of a fascist regime running roughshod over its most vulnerable citizens-its children. Focusing on the bleak life of Polin, a boy abandoned by his family and sent to live i a state run orphanage, it is also a moving portrait of the human spirit imprisoned by the chains of well intentioned fools. For inside the harsh confines of the supposedly beneficial instititution, Polin and his friends must deal with constant physical and psychological abuse as well as the emotional tensions brought on by their own burgeoning adolescence.
