About this movie

Abel lives in his own little world. Just released from a psychiatric hospital and unwilling to talk, Abel moves back home with mum, younger brother Paul and teenage sister Selene. After a few days Abel starts speaking - albeit rather maturely for a 9 year-old. Soon it becomes clear: Abel thinks he is the family patriarch. Happily commencing his fatherly duties, the family worriedly accepts Abel's behaviour. That is, until the real man of the house returns. 2010 Coyright Derechos reservados, CANANA y Fonde de Inversión y Estĺmulos al Cine [FIDECINE] Mexico.
