One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
Parchis was more than the most popular children's group in Spain between 1979 and 1985. It was a true phenomenon, whose success resulted in millions of records sales, international tours, movies and some songs that still continue to hook new generations. But how did its protagonists experience it from within?










"Parchis was one of the most successful bands in Spanish-speaking countries, creating a legion of fans with their children's songs in the 1980s. It was a similar impact to what groups like 'Balão Mágico' and 'Trem da Alegria' had in Brazil. This documentary tells the whole story, including the marathon of recordings and shows. The film, however, brings a complex plot, addressing issues such as child exploitation in cases like this. Unfortunately, the movie is superficial and only scratches the questions it tries to debate."
