Abel
Unable to "kill" the image of a father when the latter is absent, which is only nine years since the departure of this last one is plunged into a deep silence, of almost autistic. When
nine years so we go home after two years of hospitalization, during treatment course but suddenly call you back at the same time as any new authority.

It's going? you still with me, this aspect is the most humorous movie but every time flush for every situation a certain severity, the child king is back identified the shortcomings but also the emotional chasm left by the father missing, not to mention the difficult financial condition in which the family and therefore mainly the mother faces.
