Drama Junior is a 9 year-old with "bad hair". He wants to have it straightened for his yearbook picture, like a fashionable pop singer. This puts him at odds with his mother Marta. The more Junior tries to look sharp and make his mother love him, the more she rejects him, until he is cornered, face to face with a unexpected decision.

United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"This miniaturist mosaic provides tender insight into a complicated mother-son relationship. (...) a spare neorealist drama that holds attention and emotional involvement with its deft balance of toughness and sensitivity."	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"Mariana Rondon's impressively multilayered drama brings a powerful specificity to the story of a boy and his embittered single mother."	POS
