Synopsis

'Seeds of Joy' tells the story of children from Spain, Angola and Colombia, and teaches us how to build their happiness from difficulty and from the utmost precariousness. In Aranjuez, Isabel and her mother have many financial difficulties, while Diego wants to find her father and reconcile with her mother. In Colombia, Jhon, a young traditional musician, discovers that his father wants to sell his land to some hotel negotiators. On the other hand, in Angola, Miguel decides to climb a tree and not get off it until the government authorities do something because he can improve the hospital in the village where his younger brother is sick with great gravity.
