Geschichte
León y Olvido centers around the titular siblings, León and Olvido, who are left to care for each other after their parents' death. León, a young man with Down syndrome, has been expelled from several care facilities due to behavioral issues. Despite this, he manages to move in with his twin sister Olvido, who is initially reluctant to take full responsibility for him. The film explores the complexities of their relationship as they navigate cohabitation struggles and the absence of social assistance.

As the siblings clash over their living situation, León begins to accept new tasks and take on more responsibility under his sister's guidance. However, the lack of financial stability, Olvido's career prospects, and León's personal growth spark difficult situations, pushing the siblings to reassess their roles and priorities.
