Slikebal (2014) Online

Victor, a child of 12, works through his own choice as a shoeshine boy in the central square of San Cristobal de Las Casas, to pay for his education and support his family; he also helps by working in the field. Whilst child labor is approved of and even celebrated in rural zones children are taught to work from a young age in the city it is not acceptable and is disapproved of by some sectors. Victor is in the middle of this cultural conflict: his mother, a young indigenous woman, has taught her children to become egalitarian, independent and responsible individuals.
