Tomas is too much for his lone mother so she sends him to live with his older brother Federico, aka Sombra, in Mexico City.
The sincere performances, engaging music choices and confident direction all help confirm Ruizpalacios as a promising new voice in Mexican cinema.
Seek this one out, then make a friend happy by forcing them to see it too.

Güeros may have a tiny budget but it has a big heart.
