- Synopsis:
- One night, a young man hears gunfire from the deserted theatre adjacent to his bakery. He investigates and finds the wounded body of Nelio (Sérgio Titos), a young street kid, who has learnt to survive in the city by living on his wits. With his life ebbing away, Nelio tells his own story, and that of his friends. 'Nelio's Story' is a fable for modern times. Succinctly told, it highlights good and bad characteristics of human nature, and illustrates how youth and innocence can be taken away. Based on the novel 'Chronicler of the Winds' by Swedish crime writer Henning Mankell. The Film retains a recurring Mankell motif, of questioning what goes wrong in society.
