»Leones is an essay about death from the point of view of a mortal being, death seen as a beautiful landscape. Youth and its obsessions: death, its beauty and incomprehension. How weak can the human body be in comparison to an intellectual construction? These kids are always in the moment, the here and now. References to temporality are downplayed or even denied. Yet they are not merely part of the moment but immersed in it, anxious and bored, almost beyond temporality.«
– Jazmín López

Friends Félix, Sofía, Arturo, Niki and Isabel are wandering through a wood. While they distract themselves in punning games, jostle with one another and set mutual challenges, they trace their way back, step by step, into a grown-up world – desperately seeking to evade a story somehow already pegged out. When they arrive at a holiday home, Isabel can no longer keep secret what’s so special about her situation.
