SYNOPSIS

A story where the power of childhood and the power of adulthood evoke and complement each other.

For Joe-Joe, Mondays are boring, but everything changes when the

Spider arrives at school, or as he calls him “a big shiny guy”,

a tall and sometimes withdrawn boy.

Joe-Joe, who is also the strongest in the class, tries to put distance

between him and Spider, but they become friends when they face together the mockery of their classmates, the fear of the blackboard and their teacher, a bond that will also turn them into heroes of their particular stories.

And we were heroes It is the story of FRIENDSHIP and SURVIVAL between two 9 and 10 year old boys, Spider and Joe-Joe, who will always stay together.

Until the end of the world!

…because a promise is a promise…

It's the story of two old friends who meet every evening by the pond to remember their childhood and the importance of finding each other and being there for each other throughout their lives, in order to survive the sometimes complicated stage that CHILDHOOD can be.

…because sometimes it’s not so easy being a child.

We will discover their weaknesses, but also their strengths in the face of BULLYING they suffer in the classroom for being different and in the face of the VIOLENCE they sometimes suffer from adults inside and outside their homes.

Sometimes adults do and say things I don't understand.

It's a story to laugh, to cry, to touch hearts and memories, both for young audiences, ages 8 and up, and for the whole family. A story to enjoy with grandparents and discover that they were once children too.

It's a story that teaches us to respect those who are different, to defend the right to an inclusive education, and the need to create role models and emotional bonds. In short, it reminds us of the obligation to PROTECT CHILDREN.
