Matar cangrejos

Rayco, an 8-year-old boy, and his 14-year-old sister Paula are killing their time as good as they can while anxiously awaiting Michael Jackson’s arrival in Tenerife. But their mother has become pregnant by a foreigner, and their lives could change before the singer arrives on the island. The film deals with the sudden arrival of early adulthood, the search for father figures, the paradoxical rejection of anything from the outside, youthful complicity, illegal immigration and fear of tourism.
