Summary: From case cover: Polin es un chico sumido en el abandono y la incomprensión. Logra fugarse del asilo en el que se encuentra y descubre la agresividad y la indiferencia atroz de la sociedad. Translated Case Cover (Google Translate): Polin is a boy immersed in abandonment and incomprehension. He manages to escape from the asylum in which he finds himself and discovers the aggressiveness and the atrocious indifference of society. From IMDB: CHRONICLE OF A BOY ALONE, is an indictment of a fascist regime running roughshod over its most vulnerable citizens, its children. Focusing on the bleak life of eleven-year-old bad boy Polin, who's been abandoned by his family and sent to live in a state-run orphanage, it's also a moving portrait of the human spirit imprisoned by the chains of well-intentioned fools. Inside the harsh confines of the supposedly beneficial institution, Polin and his fellow inmates must deal with constant physical and psychological abuse by the staff, as well as the natural emotional tensions brought on by their own burgeoning adolescence. But through it all, they manage to keep their hopes alive with optimistic talk of freedom and bold plans of escape. One day, when the opportunity finally arises, and Polin learns that freedom, too, has its price.
