OLMO
(Fernando Eimbcke, USA/Mexico, 2025, 84 min. In English and Spanish with English subtitles)

Fourteen-year-old Olmo (newcomer Aivan Uttapa in a breakthrough performance) is coming of age in 1979 New Mexico, where his family is struggling to make ends meet while caring for his bedridden father, Néstor (Gustavo Sánchez Parra, Amores Perros). But Olmo would much rather hang out with his best friend and impress his beautiful next-door neighbor than shoulder his share of the responsibilities. When she finally invites him to a party on a night he’s been left alone with his dad, Olmo will do whatever it takes to escape, setting off a night of mischief and chaos. From acclaimed Mexican filmmaker Fernando Eimbcke (Duck Season) comes a warm, darkly comedic coming-of-age story about adolescence, family, and finding solace in the place you most want to escape.
