The dwarf tells them stories in compensation for their work. In the opening dialogue, he promises that he will take them to the sea, which none of them has seen. While working, one of the children sees a man find a necklace in the garbage. This man is a fetishist and offers the necklace to one of his effigies. During the night, while he sleeps, one of the children comes to the hut, steals the necklace and gives it to his girlfriend. The next morning everyone meets in the dump. The fetishist, who has already noticed the disappearance of the necklace, starts an argument with the boy, claiming that he stole it. The boy denies, they argue, fight and the kid dies. The rest of the kids and the dwarf, who have witnessed the argument, lynch the criminal. After this, the dwarf keeps his promise and takes them to see the sea, where they take along the body of their dead friend and place it on the shore, facing the ocean. From a distance an angelical little girl approaches. Written by Oscar Molinari See less
