SYNOPSIS
Pájaro Tamai and Marciano Miranda, two young men in their early twenties, suffering in a deserted amusement park shortly after they have both confronted each other in a knife duel, resolving a feud they have faced since childhood and which was inherited from their parents.
The story of the two families, Tamai and Miranda, is the story of a dormant resentment. The old men, Mr Tamai and Mr Miranda hated each other. Despite the hatred among the family, the parents could not prevent their children Pajaro(Pajarito) and Marciano being inseparable friends in childhood. On the streets, abandoned areas and roads around the neighborhood all the children gathered and formed a single gang. It
did not matter what their surname was or where they came from. The family was just a place where they came back to eat and sleep.
LADRILLEROS is a drama, a kind of Romeo and Juliet with a homosexual focus, that reconstructs the story of hate between two neighbouring families, Tamai’s and the Miranda’s. From this hate, besides the tragedy, blossoms the love between the son of Tamai, Pájaro and Angel, the youngest son of Miranda.
