Synopsis

As a country boy, Zeco lives in close contact with nature. The son of a washerwoman and a peasant, he helps his mother to deliver the laundry to her customers. His first contact with the urban world occurs when a girl from the city arrives to spend her vacations in the area. Zeco has hard-skinned feet, because he has never worn shoes before. Clara has beautiful sneakers. The boy took a while to understand why people use shoes. Maybe he still doesn’t quite understand and that is why he desires a pair so much. Zeco describes the events at a party through people’s feet. At the same party, the children are going to compete for a pair of leather boots.
