El niño de fuego

When he was only 9 years old, Aleixo Paz (stage name ?El Niño de Fuego?) suffered an accident in his father's truck that caused burns to 90% of his body, destroying his life and that of his family. The director Ignacio Acconcia, who makes his debut in the feature film with this film, has lived with him and his environment between the ages of 13 and 18, while Aleixo, without work or studies, lives locked in the darkness of his room, consumed by pain and anger.

The only way he finds relief and comfort is through music, writing songs for an imaginary audience. Thanks to the inspiration of a friend and the unconditional support of his mother, Aleixo will gather enough strength to get on stage and leave behind the fear of living.

During the 5 years that the documentary addresses, Acconcia has been recording the protagonist, his family and friends of him to build this story of overcoming and learning. He is also responsible for the short films 'Putas' and 'Don't Forget About Me', the fiction series 'David mi amigo' and the movie 'Demostración'. The soundtrack features songs by GOMZ, Rosa Rosario or Nikone, who have created specific themes for the film. The movie is produced by Nanouk Films and will premiered directly in streaming through Movistar +.
