Chronicle of a Boy Alone

Polín (Diego Puente) is an eleven-year-old orphan in 1960s Argentina who wants out of the reformatory where he has been sent for delinquency. Leonardo Favio puts him among guards and officials who answer to authority, and among older boys like Fiori (Victoriano Moreira) who show him how to get by. Polín keeps his small, stubborn plans to himself, a boy no one has ever waited for.
