HOMENAJE AL CINE MEXICANO 

Actor: Juan Manuel Bernal
Director: Rodrigo Arnaz
México/Ficción/2022/ 125 min

Juan Manuel Bernal, our honored actor with the Cactus de Todos Santos 2023, plays a young jazz musician and single father. An intimate story with excellent photography that shows us the daily communication troubles that he has to overcome with his autistic son, which he endures through music. It shows us the facets that the young father goes through and the accumulation of emotions that drown him. Everything is about to change the day the boy's mother returns after eight years of absence, only to reveal a truth that will change both of their lives as they knew it. Juan Manuel Bernal dazzles in this role for which he had to study music. A risky and moving film that helps us  to understand autism, parenthood and family ties.
