Armando is 10 years old, he's a little boy like everyone else, he lives in a village with his mother Amelia, a charming woman who has always been very attentive to his son. There is also Arturo with them, Amelia's husband after the passing of Armando's father. Unfortunately Arturo reinvests all the few money, left by the poor man, to go drinking, and when he comes back home he's always drunk and he beats and abuses the poor Amelia. They both think that Armando doesn't know anything, but he can't manage to close his eyes every night, until his mother stops screaming and groaning. On Armando's birthday his mother gives him a seal box left by his father, who made a particular request, when he was still alive: she had to give it to Armando on his tenth birthday. This is a gift that will change their lives forever.

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.
