Always remember this

We see a Civil Guard station in Raval in Barcelona, the courtyard where the members of the force pass their time like a family, the eventual appearance of a circus that entertains the little ones, the work on the fraying edges of the outskirts of the city…

These are the settings for a sentimental education that puts a focus on everyday courage, on the difficulties of getting by, on sudden explosions of violence and the need to accept the past to take charge of our own lives.
