Abel
In his brilliant directorial debut, renowned Mexican actor Diego Luna presents a delightful story about a peculiar boy who, as he blurs reality and fantasy, takes over the responsibilities of a family man in his father's absence.

Believing himself to be the father of his siblings and the husband of his mother, Abel brings an unexpected steadiness to his struggling family. 

Balancing sadness and joy, Luna's film features splendid cinematography, humour and stunning performances from his cast.
