The King

About This Movie

Perico is this naive kid fresh out of an orphanage, and you just root for him as he navigates a world that's not too kind. The pacing meanders a bit, but it allows for some genuine moments with Pepe, a boy who's both roguish and surprisingly endearing. Their friendship takes them on a journey filled with music and romance, which adds a nice layer to the story.
