Tira tira is a comic children's show that tells the story of Marcel, a young child who has worked all his life in a textile factory and his relationship with his work tools that are a subsitute for the friends he doesn't have. The struggle between his hopes and the strenuous demands forced upon him by the factory owner, form the basis of a show loaded with feeling and emotions.

One day, with the arrival of a new tool at the factory, he discovers the brighter side of life, how to play, party and laugh. And so he realises
that his claustraphopic world is nothing more than a lie. This relevation causes Marcel to reflect about his life and all that has happened to
him, and to find the child that has been denied to him.
