The
Terrario's screenings are an audiovisual proposal that regularly presents
videos, documentaries, and films related to the Intermediæ's programming. This programme presents
Cuando Cumplen 18. Javi
is a young man who was in foster care with the Comunidad de Madrid
(Madrid Regional Government). Like many other young people, he suffers
abandonment and lack of protection when the Regional Government turns
them out of foster care housing when they turn 18. Six months ago, Javi
left the apartment where he lived and since then, he has found out how
easy it is to fall into life on the streets and how hard it is to get
ahead. His life is now a study in contrasts. He is on the street, going
from one job interview to the next, but continues on with his hip-hop
group and a local radio programme. Sara and Abdellah are in the same
situation as Javi and yet, we see how each of them handles the
challenge of facing the world differently.
