Los niños

Anita, Rita, Ricardo and Andrés have been classmates for more than 40 years, they have passed all thier grades and don’t want to continue complying with school obligations: the school notebook, mother’s day celebration, end of year ceremony and the school bus, they can’t stand being treated like children anymore. They know they have been here longer than most teachers and they are tired of being students, although it’s the only place that offers them work opportunities. Work is not an easy task since they are adults over 45 years old and with Down syndrome. Their remaining living parents never thought their kids would outlive them. Life expectancy for this group has increased, and neither society nor their families ever thought they would become adults.
