El nen gris (The Grey Boy)

An excellent modern album that tells the story of a boy who is born completely grey inside and out, and insensitive to the reality and emotions surrounding him. At wit’s end, his parents try everything they can think of to make him normal even resorting to some far-fetched remedies to eliminate this anatomical dilemma but nothing works. The boy is simply not impressed by anything or anywhere he goes. Fortunately help is at hand and closer to home than everyone thinks. He will not discover the significance of emotions until something exceptional happens to him. English text available.
