Young Rocío (Natalia de Molina) and her soccer-crazy eight-year-old son face eviction from their humble apartment in provincial Spain. As ordinary life goes on all around them in the face of obvious economic austerity, we witness close up her wild oscillations between hope and panic, her constant fight to maintain dignity and, ultimately, her impotence as poverty tightens its grip bit by bit. (Denver International Film Festival)

Some people just don't have an easy life, they may try, but they will continue to make mistakes that will bring them down even lower. That's what Food and Shelter is about, where a mother tries to get at least some money to support her son. An unpleasantly depressing film, when a person like me realizes that he is actually very well off.
