Filmed over 6-years, NEVER TO CRY intimately portrays the lives of two Angolan children who are brought to Spain for rehabilitation from major leg injuries. During their recovery in Barcelona, Cassinda and Romeo discover the power of solidarity through the surprising friendships they develop with Catalan families. In addition to their physical disabilities, Cassinda and Romeo must face the consequences of war.
