Synopsis "Flores Para Algernon (in Spanish)"

Charlie Gordon, un chico con discapacidad mental, cuenta en su diario, con palabras similares a las de un niño que empieza a escribir, las dificultades con las que se encuentra en el día a día. De pronto, unos científicos ven la posibilidad de operarle para lograr que sea un persona como las demás. También lo hicieron con Algernon, un ratoncillo de laboratorio, y la cosa funcionó. Pero, tiempo después, el ratoncillo empieza a experimentar cambios de conducta, hasta caer en un claro retroceso y morir. Charlie, que lo observa cada día, sabe lo que eso significa.
