''Barrio'' is a 1998 Spanish film directed by Fernando León de Aranoa. It won several awards including Best Director at the 13th Goya Awards, and was also nominated for Best Picture. Plot Javi, Manu, and Rai are friends from school. They are teenagers, and they talk about girls a lot but seldom talk to them. They live in a poor neighborhood of Madrid with large social housing blocks. There is little to do, and in August even less. The centre of the city is far away, so the three friends spend most of their time in the neighborhood. On television, they see people that have flocked to the beaches for the summer, and they wish they were among them. Walking by travel offices they see tempting offers, but their lives demonstrate how hard it is to leave the neighborhood and to improve their situation. In the end, their lives take an unexpected turn. Cast * as Rai * Timy Benito as Javi * as Manu * as Susi, Javi's sister * as Carmen, Javi's mother * Enrique Villén as Ricardo, J ...
