The Other Family
The story of Hendrix, a 7-year-old child that's been abandoned by his crack-addict mother Nina.
Directed by Gustavo Loza
Produced by Rio Negro, Río Negro Producciones
A tender yet sobering drama about two men confronting parenthood and family when a traumatized child enters their lives, balancing hope against the weight of addiction and abandonment.
Jean Paul and Chema have been together ten years. They have successful careers, a comfortable home and many friends. But that's all turned turned upside down when close friend Ivana rescues Hendrix from his broken home and asks them to care for the boy. Hendrix's mother Nina is a drug addict who suffers at the hands of her abusive partner Patrick. The men begin to consider making Hendrix part of their family.
