My school is the story of a kids group and their last year at elementary school, the year in which childhood ends and adolescence begins. Its a normal class, in a regular school, and we have the chance to see the life of these kids and their teachers day-by-day, and how they deal with the issues that arise while growing up.

In Inicia Films we understand that production is a way to influence society and connect emotionally with the audience. Since 2006 we have been working to promote new generations of filmmakers and give them a voice in today’s audiovisual world.
Through the eyes of our creators and the sensitivity of our authors, we accompany the development of international projects and multicultural talent, building bridges between their experiences abroad and their roots. We deal with themes that respond to current concerns and we believe that by connecting people and emotions we can help to draw new narrative and visual horizons.
