El millonario y la muerte

Synopsis
On the eve of the Day of the Dead, it is normal to think about the deceased, and make peace – perhaps – with the idea of dying. What is not normal that night, or any other, is making friends with Death itself, as happens to this child, for whom life holds a radical transformation, and not just because he will be a millionaire.
A modern-day fable that questions the priorities of a society that lives as if it were never going to die. Story that borders on fable and allows us to talk about friendship, generosity and death.
