Abel
Mute Abel is no ordinary nine-year-old. He is coming home after spending time in a psychiatric facility, having reacted badly to his father's disappearance two years earlier.
His mother Cecilia urges patience from his siblings but elder sister Selene and brother Paul resent his uneasy presence.
Then suddenly Abel decides to speak again and alarmingly reinvents himself as the patriarch of the house, screening his sister's boyfriend and ordering his brother and mother around the place.
When his father suddenly reappears, however, the fragile family dynamic looks to snap, shifting things definitively for all concerned. - Maria Delgado - London Film Festival.
