A car accident… The victim is Nelsito, a 16-year-old autistic teenager who has run away from home. While everyone is worried about him, his big eyes are registering every detail. From his stretcher and through his imaginary pen, Nelsito reveals the dark, hidden side of those who surround him: wicked children, murderous women, adorable swindlers… Once recovered, Nelsito will be received by these characters – now simple neighbors who are real, ordinary and genuine. But which are the real ones? Those ordinary mortals or the ones that Nelsito has imagined in each of them?

 Un accidente automovilÃstico… La vÃctima es Nelsito, un adolescente autista de 16 años, que se ha fugado de casa. Mientras todos se precipitan en torno a él, sus grandes ojos van registrando cada detalle. Desde su camilla y a través de su pluma imaginaria, Nelsito revela el lado oscuro y oculto de todos aquellos que lo rodean: niños perversos, mujeres asesinas, adorables muchachas estafadoras… Ya recuperado, Nelsito será recibido por estos personajes –ahora simples vecinos que son auténticos, ordinarios y genuinos. ​​¿Pero cuáles son los auténticos? ¿Esos comunes mortales o los que Nelsito ha imaginado en cada uno de ellos?
