SILENCIO DE NETO, EL (THE SILENCE OF NETO)

Description: The first Guatemalan feature film. Neto is the eleven year old son of a Guatemalan official in the mid-fifties, during a period of turmoil when the elected government was threatened by a U.S. backed invasion. While political unrest forms a tense background, Neto – with only a child’s understanding of the adult world – tries to enjoy his youth anyway. He naturally gravitiates toward his flamboyant, irresponsible uncle more than his plodding, earnest father. Copies: 1 (DVD) Length: 106 minutes
