Overview
Los vemos como seres frágiles que necesitan todo nuestro cuidado.
¿Pero qué hay de los altos?
¿A ellos quién los cuida?
¿A poco la gente alta no tiene su corazoncito?
A sus diez años, Diana, una niña amante del skate, toma la decisión más importante de su vida: no volverá a pararse en dos pies y sólo se moverá con ayuda de unasilla de ruedas; está cansada de ser muy alta y no poder disfrutar de los privilegios de los que gozan “los chiquitos”. La decisión provoca una revolución. Su mamá quiere castigarla, mientras que su padre, como buen psicólogo, prefiere usar métodos más modernos y le propone una apuesta aparentemente sencilla a la niña: si logra pasar una semana entera en la silla, no sólo podrá permanecer ahí, también obtendrá el perro que tanto quiere. Pero como bien dicen, las cosas sencillas son las que más trabajo cuestan, y más cuando Diana se convierta en el centro de atención y sólo tenga un aliado, un futuro director de cine que quiere documentar todo “por la ciencia”.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Since the beginning of time, people have always protected the little ones.
We see them as fragile beings that need all our care.
But what about the tall ones?
Who takes care of them?
Don't tall people have feelings too?
At the age of ten, Diana, a skateboard-loving girl, makes the most important decision of her life: she will no longer stand on her two feet and will only move with the help of a wheelchair; she is tired of being too tall and not being able to enjoy the privileges enjoyed by "the little ones." The decision causes an upheaval. Her mom wants to punish her, while her father, a good psychologist, prefers to use more modern methods and proposes a seemingly simple bet to the girl: if she can spend an entire week in the chair, not only can she stay there, but she will also get the dog she so desires. But as they say, simple things are the hardest ones, especially when Diana becomes the center of attention and only has one ally left, a future film director who wants to document everything "for science’s sake."
