León y Olvido = León and Olvido

Olvido is a 21-year-old woman. León, who is more or less the same age, has Down ’s syndrome. They lost their parents four or five years ago and their only inheritance was the rent of the house where they live and an old car.

An increasingly desperate conflict is developing between them. Olvido wants León to accept to go to a boarding school or that he travels to and from school by himself and looks after his own things and does at least some jobs around the house.

León would like his occupations, responsibilities and jobs to be as few as possible and wants his sister to look after him wholeheartedly. Olvido’s desperation grows and León’s tenacity is continually put to the test. Both are going to have to live through extreme situations and it will be difficult for them to come through unscathed.



Olvido es una mujer de veintiún años. León, su hermano mellizo, tiene síndrome de Down. Hace cuatro o cinco años que quedaron huérfanos, y como única herencia les quedó el alquiler de la casa en la que viven y un viejo coche.

Entre ellos se desarrolla un conflicto: Olvido quiere que León acepte ir a un internado o vaya y venga solo de la escuela y se ocupe de algunas tareas de la casa. León intenta que las tareas sean las menos posibles.
