THE ANGEL in Open Air Programme

Carlitos is a 17-year-old with movie-star swagger, blond curls, and a baby face. As a young boy, he coveted other people’s things, but it wasn’t until his early adolescence that his true calling – to be a thief – manifested itself. When he meets Ramon at his new school, Carlitos is immediately drawn to him, and starts showing off to get his attention. Together they will embark on a journey of discovery, love, and crime. Killing is just a random offshoot of violence, which continues to escalate until Carlitos is apprehended. Because of his angelic appearance, the press dubs Carlitos "The Angel of Death." Showered with attention because of his beauty, he becomes a celebrity overnight.
