SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE NOVEL A FRIENDSHIP AT PLAY AND THE
COLOMBIAN FILM THE COLORS OF THE MOUNTAIN

Another case where we find the importance of friendship in the movie THE
COLORS OF THE MOUNTAIN is a film that tells the life of Manuel, an eight-year-
old boy who plays soccer with his friends in the dark and Manuel, who dreams of
being a great goalkeeper. . His joy is enormous when Ernesto, his father, gives him
a new ball, but unfortunately it falls into a minefield. In the midst of adventures and
children's games, signs of an armed conflict disrupt the lives of the inhabitants of
the prairie.

In these two stories we can observe the presence of great friends and on the other
hand the appearance of conflicts and bullying that can disturb the lives of children.
