The argument of The immense minority is vertebrate by the soccer, neighborhood soccer as a tool to tell a story of the periphery: teenage protagonists in the Free Zone of Barcelona in 2010, a history of poor neighborhoods about the true protagonists of the crisis.
A history of defeat but also of hope and above all of struggle.
From the immense minority Kiko Amat, winner of Mandarache 2010, has said: "an imposing fresco of the adolescent experience of outskirts, capturing all its rage, brutality, occasional romanticism and humor.
A great novel of the Barcelona does not pija.
A worthy heir to the tradition of Marsé, Candel, Ledesma, Casavella or Zanón ».
