Description

Have you ever spent your last coins on an ice cream and he fell to the ground? Have you been offered a gift you already had and you couldn’t say anything? Have you ever shared secrets with a best friend and then discovered that he was no longer your best friend? “Misery” is a hilarious compendium of misfortunes in which both kids and adults will see themselves reflected, situations that remind us of the difficult art of being a child, so often disguised by the romanticized vision of childhood, that miserable and delirious sweet fiction created by adults who don’t realize just how miserable children can feel.
