Plot

The story follows Abel (Christopher Ruíz-Esparza) a nine-year-old boy whose violent outbursts, self-harming and refusal to speak have landed him in a women’s psychiatric ward. Having already been in care for two years, Abel’s condition is neither improving nor degrading and so the hospital makes the decision that he must be transferred to a children’s hospital for permanent residence in distant Mexico City unless his condition remains stable enough that he may return home. Abel’s mother Cecilia (Karina Gidi) desperate to stop the transfer begs his doctor to let him return home on a trial period with regular medical visits to assess his progress and if things go well, to eventually let him stay at home for good.
Abel’s doctor bends to the will of Cecilia, largely due to some unrequited love issues and allows Abel to stay at home on a trial period. His return to the family home causes an uncomfortable presence and while Cecilia does her best to get Abel settled back into the home and convince her other two children, Abel’s older sister Selene (Geraldine Alejandra) and his younger brother Paúl (Gerardo Ruíz-Esparza) that the best thing to do is not to upset him and to treat all his behaviour as normal, it is evident that even she at times struggles to take her own advice and accept him.
Abel’s continual voluntary silence is met with unease when suddenly one morning Abel steps up to the paternal podium and starts acting like the man of the house (despite being only nine years-old) and displaying odd father-like behaviours. The family’s initial shock dissipates over time as they begin to grow used to his unusual behaviour and find that they even benefit from it, bringing them all closer together. Abel’s fatherly actions often include helping around the home with DIY, scheduled homework sessions with Selene and Paúl and even attending the school’s Father’s Day celebration and vetting Selene’s new boyfriend.
Things begin to look up for Abel’s return to a somewhat skewed normality, when suddenly one morning Abel wakes up to find their estranged biological father Anselmo (José María Yazpik) in the house, supposedly back from working in the USA after three years of no communication.
The family is thrown into disarray with Anselmo’s return and with the trial deadline creeping up, how will Abel cope? Will he step up to the plate and be the man he claims he is? Or will his innocence take over and reveal him as the child he really is?
