Role description

NIÑO ENTRE 9 Y 11 AÑOS, TEZ MORENA O APIÑONADO. Hijo de Pino y Teresa, tiene una hermana menor María de 7 años. Su mundo empieza y termina en el rancho dónde trabaja y vive su familia, originalmente era una finca cafetalera, estuvo llena de prosperidad pero lamentablemente cayo la roya y esto trajo crisis a su habitantes. Tiene poco, pero es feliz, sobre todo porque tiene una familia unida y dos padres que se quieren y respetan y que le han inculcado valores que muchos de sus amigos no tienen. Miguel está de vacaciones y sus días se resumen a salir de casa desde temprano, cargar con su hermana, jugar fútbol, (es realmente fan de Maradona) e inventarse alguna aventura con la palomilla de niños del rancho. Es un niño sumamente noble y curioso. Ama estar afuera, en el campo, aún cuando muchos días acaba siendo testigo o víctima de alguno de los retos del Calavera, el niño bully del grupo. Al inicio es un poco temeroso, pero la experiencia de encontrar en un hoyo y en una zona abandonada del rancho a Felipe, (un niño que no pertenece a este lugar) lo transforma en el líder valiente que está destinado a ser. Miguel tiene una lealtad férrea a sus amigos y es capaz de retar a todo el grupo de adultos y arriesgar su propia vida con tal de liberar a Felipe de su encierro. Miguel experimenta una dura pérdida de inocencia, no sólo por haber sido testigo de este horrible secuestro (el de Felipe), sino porque por primera vez ve a sus padres, y especialmente a su madre, bajo una perspectiva más sombría. La creía pura, perfecta, como solo un niño de su edad puede ver a su propia madre, pero cuando descubre que ella también es participe del secuestro, su mundo y su identidad se vienen abajo. Teresa se reivindica y de esta manera Miguel, logra comprender un poco el mundo complejo de los adultos, lo que los lleva a cometer errores, pero también, como en el caso de su madre, lo que los hace buenas personas a pesar de las circunstancias.

NIÑO ENTRE 9 Y 11 AÑOS, TEZ BLANCA. Hijo de Don Emilio y Fernanda. Es un niño tímido, mimado y al mismo tiempo un poco ignorado por sus ocupados padres, pareciera que son una familia adinerada por los negocios de su padre. Al ser hijo único y tener que pasar sus tardes en las bodegas de la Central de Abastos de su padre, Felipe ha desarrollado una imaginación muy vasta y nunca se aburre. Su gran pasión es el fútbol y su máximo ídolo es Diego Maradona. Sueña con ir a verlo jugar durante el Mundial de México y no se lo dice a nadie, pero desea con todas sus fuerzas que Argentina sea el campeón. Cuando lo secuestra Pino, un empleado de su padre, lo lleva al Rancho dónde vive, ahí Félix, el adolescente bully habitante de la hacienda, le hace creer que está muerto y Felipe cae en una especie de delirio. Cree que ese hoyo donde lo tienen es el infierno y por eso pasa dolor, hambre y miedo. Quizá es porque no concibe por qué? o para qué? alguien querriá tenerlo en ese cautiverio. La vida de Felipe nunca será la misma. Después de que Miguel lo descubre en el hoyo, con él vive los momentos de mayor felicidad en su vida aún cuando está secuestrado, porque conoce el significado de la verdadera amistad.
