AT 19.30 - COWARDS, 2008, 89min (Cobardes)
Gaby is 14 years old and hates school. He knows that every day he goes, Guille and his gang will make his life impossible: humiliation in front of his classmates, mocking and even beatings. The rest of the class doesnt react out of fear.
Neither his family nor his teachers are aware of what is happening. Gaby takes comfort both in Carla, a friend from school whom hes in love with, and Silverio, an old pizza maker.
Alongside the school and adolescent life, the life of the adults around them is also tarnished with fear. Gabys father is also terrified under the constant threat of being fires by his boss; his mother is fearful that her family is going to crumble and passively observes what is happening with her husband and son. Guilles father is an important businessman who disguises his fear of failure by projecting superiority and disdain; his mother is afraid to admit that her family is not perfect and looks the other way.
Gaby is fed up and decides to take action. He cant think of any more alternatives so he decides to listen to the advice of the pizza maker: an eye for an eye,.
Gaby is finally free, but he has paid a high price for it: he has learned that the World is a jungle where the strongest ones survive and there is no place for the weak. He has lost his first true love, Carla.
To live like a coward is the easiest solution in a world dominated by fear.
