Synopsis

Young people in a school engage with elderly residents in a fictional town. They ask questions about their community's history. The elderly respond with stories that reflect their experiences and memories. The exchanges reveal how language connects generations and shapes understanding. Techniques developed in the school serve to bridge the gap between youth and age. Directed by María Aparicio, The Streets runs for 81 minutes and was released in 2016.
