1954, in the small mountain town of Colombia, Alfonso, an 11-year old boy whose mother passed away, doesn't have any family and to survive has no other recourse than to leave school and begin working as errand boy at a local pharmacy. There he learns all of the basic concepts of medicine, which changes his life in spectacular fashion.

The Errand Boy

The true story of four men who narrowly escaped death at the hands of Argentina's military death squads in 1977. Claudio Tamburrini is a goalie for a minor-league football team when he is abducted by members of the Argentine military police and taken to an unofficial detention center on the false suspicion that he is a terrorist. As he is tortured by intelligence agents looking for information he doesn't have, Tamburrini fully expects to be killed. After many sessions of brutal torture, Tamburrini and his fellow captives Guillermo and Tano are being readied for execution when, in a final desperate act, Tamburrini dives out a window during a rainstorm.
