El Color de las nubes

Bartolome is fed up at being shunted between disinterested parents in Madrid, so he insinuates himself onto a busload of Bosnian refugee children and gets himself sent off to a house on Spain’s north coast. The impersonation doesn’t last long, and the real Bosnian lad, Mirsad, also arrives at the house. There are several interlocking stories in this complex and entertaining film, but the lads have key roles indeed. Among the subplots is a fine mystery regarding crooked policemen and a misplaced stash of cocaine...nevertheless, it would rightly be regarded as character-driven.
