MAIN CHARACTERS
(MORE ON THE WAY)
EMMANUEL
13 Shy, withdrawn.
Not great at soccer or team sports but excels riding Pasos.
He might lack social skills but doesn't lack for courage, when push comes to shove.
JORGE
12 Archetypical 'boy.'
Nice kid, Opie-sort. Bit of a day-dreamer.
Effortlessly athletic, but not competitive. Confident.
When tested for the first time in his life he wakes up, figures out what matters in life.
MARIELLA
13 Quiet. Virtuous. Strong. Super sensitive to others. Serious. Sometimes humorless. Sees her future in academia.
She's the 'good one' but smart enough to know when to break rules.
MARTA
65 Emmanuel's Grandma. Wrinkled, brown, laughing twinkling eyes.
Gives off a vibe of obliviousness, yet she's watching all the time, carefully calculating her next move.
HUMBERTO
63 Emmanuel's Granddpa
Task master. Gruff. Unsentimental. Deep down, he's kind and observant.
SILVIO
32 Isabel's father.
Bar owner, 'Donde Mi Apa'.
Deeply serious. Passionate music collector, obsessive chronicler of Colombian heritage music.
Smiles once - at the end of the movie
EDGARDO
75 Luz Music Foundation Director.
Graciously paternal. Smiley. But haunted by deep worries.
Shifts quickly - from silly and playful, to sadly contemplative - depending on whether he's with kids or adults.
