ÁLEX IS NOT A BOY‘S NAME

What to do when nobody seems to understand you? What to do when you know you belong to another world? What to do when your home become the worst of all prisons? Those are the questions Álex is asking, while trapped in a broken family. Her mother, an unhappy and bitter woman, who is always criticising Álex; her father is always absent and absorbed in his job to avoid the familiar chaos; and her elder brother takes any opportunity to despise her.

Álex is drowning in an oppressive and hypocritical reality. Álex needs to breathe, needs to defend her ideas without breaking down in tears, needs to believe in something else. Only her friend Irene and the arrival of Huari into her life, a young Moroccan immigrant, may bring the stability she is yearning to have.
