SYNOPSIS

Married couple Ana Cortés and Jesús Rodríguez (Chule) create the Association for the Integration of the Gypsy Community of La Palma-Palmilla. One of the association's aims is to help try and eradicate truancy in the Malaga neighbourhood of Palma-Palmilla, renowned for its social exclusion. Every morning the association trawls the neighbourhood looking for children who haven't gone to school as part of a project called "I go to school". The documentary explores the roots of the problem and monitors the association's struggle to solve it.
