Pelo Malo (Bad Hair)


A 10-year-old boy's desire to straighten his kinky hair causes outsized conflict with his unemployed, harassed single mother in Mariana Rondon's Caracas-set drama. Unexpected issues related to Venezuela's volatile economic situation and the young boy's seemingly incipient gay form the core of this finely acted, deceptively small-scaled story.
