In heaven, boys and girls were assigned their gender by being given a blue heart for boys and a red heart for girls. One of the cherubs does not want to stop being a cherub, so he gives one of the girls (Zafiro) his blue heart, because of Cachito's mischief, who is sent to earth as punishment to correct his mistake. The story really begins when, after a few years, the elf-like angel finds the girl and tries to convince her to return the extra blue heart he gave her. At birth, her situation is already complicated: in her kingdom, the Salic law prevails, so the king passes his baby girl off as a boy to prevent unscrupulous nobles from seizing power.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
