Labia

A young boy in 1970s Madrid is captivated by a peculiar neighborhood stationery shop run by three sisters, one of whom teaches him calligraphy and tells him the legend of a mythical book. At the same time, he attends private painting lessons with Professor Linaza, his housekeeper, and a dog; he learns of the hardships faced by a sculptor in Paris, the victim of a Boy Scout conspiracy; and he discovers the existence of Oskar, who couldn't grow up. And so he learns to see, to discover, and to piece together the world, memory, people, and their stories, in an atmosphere of joyful melancholy, of bittersweet sadness.
