MOVIE SYNOPSIS: Act I: The New School for the Old is the first part of a trilogy about the arrival of a masked vigilante named Joodinni, who returns to Puerto Rico for the second time to restore order and fix everything that has degenerated and corrupted since the last time he was on Earth/PR (his first coming). The story revolves around four children (Mila, Ryan, Diego, Kristian), aged 10-12, who live in the town of Lares. They live recklessly, vandalizing, stealing, and committing misdeeds throughout the town. Joodinni, along with his right hand Boe, a small masked girl who serves as his conscience, arrives with the purpose of guiding these children, as well as all the children and youth of Puerto Rico. However, a small but complicated setback causes his mission to be challenged by Maoro De La Cruz, a Puerto Rican entrepreneur who is bringing a group of foreigners to the island and buying dozens of residences throughout the town in order to take control and turn Lares into the main hub of the organized crime. The film’s format is completely new and original, using musical elements to tell the story, as it is also an album with a prologue, an outro, and 12 musical pieces that mark each chapter of the film. The main themes addressed are the current social and cultural status of the island, the education, health, the political influence in all branches of our society, crime, and the degeneration and impact these issues have on different segments of the population.
