Daily Recommendation: LA FAMILIA

Gustavo Rondón Córdova’s acclaimed debut feature, winner of the Best Ibero-American Feature Film Award at the Miami Film Festival, follows twelve-year-old Pedro, who roams the streets with his friends, raised by the violent urban atmosphere around him in a working class district of Caracas. After Pedro seriously injures another boy in a rough game of play, single father Andrés decides they must flee to hide. Andrés will realize he is a father incapable of controlling his own teenage son, but their situation will bring them closer than they have ever been.
