The story of the sexual discovery of Kriko Krakinsky, an 11-year-old boy living in a strange and bizarre family of immigrants that share mysterious and surprising behaviors around sexual issues.
Synopsis: Kriko Krakinsky is an 11 year old boy that studies fifth grade in school. He’s a lonely kind of guy, with few friends, and he dislikes sports and insects. He’s also intrigued by his weird name, and some stuff from his family that’s even weirder, like the fact that each night he listens to huge screams coming from his older brother’s room, who lives there with his girlfriend. When Kriko´s father tells him that this screams come from “nasty stuff”, he starts imagining weird nightmares about this nasty stuff, unaware that this merely refers to a sexual act. One day at school he receives his first sexual orientation class, which scares him a lot and makes him jump out of the class running. That same night he decides that it is time to take an adventure into his older brother’s room and discover what makes those noises that keep him awake. This discovery will cause Kriko to act on something he had been hiding inside his body for a long time. Something that will reveal the true nature of the Krakinsky family, and the main reason for their oddly behavior.
