“You die if you jerk off 100 times.” This threat rings through the ears of our main character, a 14-year-old boy from rural Spain at the beginning of the twentieth century. Urged on by the hot flushes of youth, he explains his “sins” one by one so as not to cross over that fateful line, which causes him quite a few headaches. One day, however, having reached 99, he has to choose between imminent hell and the impetuousness of adolescence. How will it all end? An amusing short film about the feeling of guilt...
