Abel

I rented this from Lovefilm. It is set in Mexico and is the story of a nine year old boy who has spent an unspecified amount of time in psychiatric care, during which he was practically mute. He is then released into the care of his single mother, who at first struggles to work out how best to care for him. Abel adapts by adopting the role of the father of the family, to his five year old brother and fifteen year old sister. All is going swimmingly until his real father turns up. All in all, an interesting film, but not a brilliant one.
