The Story of Tilo tackles the issue of child sexual abuse with sensitivity and symbolism. Through the eyes of a boy with a flowerpot for a head – whose plant reveals and expresses his inner world – the story immerses us in an environment where silence carries more weight than words. An unexpected friendship, an act of courage and a flower that blooms in the most unlikely of places open the door to a truth that has long been silenced and repressed. What happens when a child finally plucks up the courage to speak out?
Listening can save a life. Abuse can be overcome and, most importantly, it can be prevented.
Temas NoViolencia: PSICOLÓGICA, MORAL, SEXUAL.

FICNOVA recognises this film:
For depicting, in a particularly allegorical way, the need to be vigilant about child abuse so that we can respond immediately. Recognising the warning signs amongst our peers can represent a step forward that leads us to look out for one another, shifting the focus from personal problems to a sensitive collective awareness.
