SYNOPSIS
Few houses and green mountains all around. Gazes set far ahead try to see, beyond those mountains, a possible horizon.
The silent streets, the few houses dwelt give a sense of quietness, everything looks immobile, almost suspended in time. Music from remote places, young urban rhythms try to move this apparent balance.
How is becoming adult inside a small mountain village, in which is strong the feelings to be a stranger and from where the young generation escaped?
How is understanding a new world made of rules and lifestyles which you don`t know, far away from home and in pursuit of a new home?
How can a passing moment, in which you feel suspended, be faced?
The protagonists of Hey Boys are teenagers dealing with a vital energy to discharge, with a curiosity of the world to fill, with an irresistible will to be free. Like all the youngsters of their generations are capable to break the apparent quietness and lead us towards questions bewildering us.
