THE DRUM BOY

Synopsis

Jaime, an introvert boy, is bullied by his schoolmates.

His father, the school principal, is a distant man with absolute power, who treats him with indifference.

With the support of his mother, Jaime finds in a painting, of a boy with a drum in front of the troops in battle, the inspiration and the example of courage that will transform him into an unlikely hero in the fight against oppression.
