Increíble película en el que tratan el maltrato infantil y los estereotipos de aquel momento, es bastante realista. Merece la pena verla sin duda
El buen cine español presenta... El bola, apodo de Pablo, un crío que sufre por el tradicionalismo de su padre.
El Bola es un chico de 12 años que vive en una situación familiar violenta. Esta situación le incapacita para tener relaciones sociales. Cuando un nuevo compañero llega a su colegio, el Bola descubre la amistad y consigue la fuerza necesaria para afrontar su propia situación.
