PELO MALO (BAD HAIR)
Pelo Malo tells the story of Junior, a 9-year-old boy growing up in a housing project in Venezuela with his mother and baby brother. As Junior begins to dream of straightening his unruly haircut (his “bad hair”) after seeing a slick pop star on TV, his mother distances herself even more from the son she is struggling to comprehend, a son in desperate need of a father figure. Pelo Malo is a charming coming-of-age story that manages to carry its universal emotions while still evoking the hard life depicted in the neighbourhood of Caracas.
