Niño de Papel
An orphan who sells newspapers on a street corner, instead has a large family on the streets of the city: an old uncle with whom he lives, a kindly false manager from a bank, a substitute mother at the vendor of arepas, a sister in her daughter and a future brother-in-law in the police that goes out of her way. A series where grace and tenderness mix, and in which economic poverty and spiritual wealth shake hands and offer laughter and teachings.
