Juguetes (1978)

This short film, filmed at the Rural Exhibition, is a testimony that, based on 70 interviews with girls and boys of 9 and 10 years, investigates the behavior patterns imposed by conventional education and the results obtained. The boys and girls are educated in specific ways, with very different life goals, and the toys reflect that discrimination: kitchens, dolls, dryers, cosmetics equipment, the whole domestic world for the girls. Creative games, those that awaken the imagination (trains, cars, games to assemble, men in space), are intended for men.
