Movie description:
Raul is a 12-year-old boy, happy and certainly mature for his age. He lives with his mother Monica, whose love life is puzzling and distressing. She’s the lead singer in a strange orchestra, called Orfeo, founded by her father, Raul’s grandfather. The boy goes to her concerts and sees her suffering because of the sad endings to relationships with the wrong men. He can’t cope, he just doesn’t understand it. He’d like to give her a hand, and that means finding the right man, who could be music teacher Medri. Raul embarks on a number of clumsy attempts to set up a meeting between his mother and the teacher. Not even this affair will end happily, but it’ll enable Raul to understand an important life lesson.
This charming comedy is about Raul, a happy and mature 12-year-old whose mother, Monica, sings in a nightclub. Life with a romantic free spirit is troubling and confusing for young Raul. Rather than let his mother continue to make poor choices, and fight his peers who criticize her lifestyle, Raul decides to introduce her to the music teacher at his school. Raul embarks on a number of clumsy attempts to set up a meeting. His plan doesn’t work out as imagined, but it enables Raul to understand an important life lesson.
