Caramel Apple Station

Computron 22 - Giuliano Carnimeo (1988)
















Cuando yo era un very small child my earliest memories were Heidi animated series, Mazinger Z, Maya Bee, Vicky the Viking and of course, Marco.

My mother hated that series and said it was a fucking drama. No reason in part was missing.

Marco's story could not be more sad and terrible and turn around an Italian boy, who in the midst of great poverty, sees his mother emigrated to Argentina in search of a better future, in order to send money to Italy and support his family.

all goes well for a year, the family lives comfortably, until it ceases to get the money and letters of the mother. Setting

desperate to know if anything happened to him has his mother, gets a stowaway boat bound for Brazil and from there take another boat to Argentina.

all this until it reaches a long, tortuous and frustrating search for the mother in Argentina, with problems, adversities and setbacks.

There are good people that help and there are some bad that we only want to aggravate. And indeed, the Japanese did a miracle, coating the dramatic story of adventure and a childish tone, for he liked to smaller houses.

This Italian film is the same. In Italy, a child expert in computers and computer (the prehistoric time) and her little Asian burst computer passwords of the mansion where he lives, and discovers recordings of his mother, who is alive and in Argentina.

The child prodigy instead of going armed with a monkey and a donkey (as in the animated series) uses a Ipad antidiludiano that helps a cojón and removes a thousand difficulties. Total

a child traveling by plane, not boat, neatly bypassing the passenger controls the airport.

And in Argentina since the passing hard time, but in one of those seeing a prostitute lying under some cardboard and it helps a lot.

other hand the child's mother is seriously ill. It has a strange illness that only 400-odd people have around the world and only two have survived it. Gives moral Menuda statistics!

And I'll leave ...

This film is a remake of the series Marco, made in Italy, in a contemporary, and giving a touch of sci-fi and computers, since by that time films like Daryl (1985), the series Chocky (1985), Explorers (1985), etc ... the style is fantastic films with children as protagonists.

But over leaving a question in suspense on this film ... Is the child as it seems, human?

A strange film, very unknown, and develops its activities in Argentina.

As curious comment that the film was played by a English wunderkind named Lolo Garcia, who became very popular the role of angel in the English film Tobi, who Tuva quite popular in his time in the Iberian Peninsula.
