The image of a neighbourhood next to the motorway, with the city in the background, is followed by a theatre canvas painted in oils. In what is now the suburbs of Córdoba in Spain, the final year pupils at Federico García Lorca primary school are looking for a film to make. They begin to discuss the fact that drama should be the chosen genre.
